A swimmer who has tackled the Yangtze, Mississippi and Danube is starting a bid to become the first person to swim the entire length of the Amazon.
Martin Strel, known as the "fish man", plans to swim the nearly 5,400km (3,375 miles) from Peru to Brazil, despite the dangers lurking beneath.
The Amazon, the world's biggest river, is home to piranha fish and crocodiles.
Mr Strel, 52, who is from Slovenia, acknowledged there were risks but said that it was his dream.
