Here is where the
Tropical Rainforests
all over the world
are located.
Rain falls 250 cm
per year.
Temperature rarely
gets over 93 F.
One of the many
Daintree Rainforest
animals, is the Brush
Turkey Red.
The skin hanging from it’s neck is called a wattle.
Here is another
animal, the
Saltwater
Crocodile.
The Saltwater Crocodile is known for it’s needle
sharp teeth.
The Victoria’s riffle
bird, known for it’s
teal stripes.
Named after Queen Victoria.
In the photo is the
Amethyst Python;
commonly found in
rainforests in
Australia.
Amethyst Python’s can be twenty eight feet long.
Commonly found in
a rainforest is the
Rhino Beetle.
Rhino Beetles are 3 ½ They’re the strongest known
animal, can carry 850 times their weight.
Here is another popular animal known as
the Slender Loris. It’s endangered; but it
shouldn’t be because it’s SO CUTE!
Here is the Idiot
Fruit; one of the
most primitive
plants.
It is also one of the most rarest plants in the globe.
The blue Quandong
is covered in slender
curved leaves.
It grows 117 feet tall.
The Wild Ginger is
known for growing
nineteen feet high.
When cut at bottom of stem, water gushes out.
A flowing vine found
no where else in the
world but the
Daintree rainforest.
At first smell sweet; but then like gross rotten fish.
Roughly 4 levels of
the food pyramid.
Level one: Plankton,
larvae or spiders.
Level two: Plankton
and insect eaters.
Level three: Bigger
carnivores such as
crocodiles.
Level four: Such as
dingoes and snakes.
Commonly found in
Rainforests all
across the globe are
swamps. Where you
can find crocodiles
or fish.
Anacondas are known for living by swamps, or high
above their waters.
Rainforest trees are
so strong, they can
grow up the side of
mountains and not
fall.
A closed canopy of trees covers 70% of the sky.
Rainforest Plateaus
are another great
way for keeping
animals safe and
away from harms
way. Also good for
tourists!
One disadvantage? Rain fall is high. And when it
does fall, it plummets flooding the lakes.
People have lived in
the rainforest for
thousands of years
learning how to
thrive away from
society. Indigenous
villages are
abandoned old
villages where
people lived.
Because they live in the rainforest only 15% of the
citizens will not get harmed or seriously injured by
animal.
Canopy’s are now
more used as a
tourist attraction
but birds still make
their homes above.
Using bridges for
Canopy’s to guide
them around.
The Canopy is the highest of seven layers.
