Rainforest Biome
• Have you ever gone to
the rainforest biome?
It is a unique and
interesting place. It
would be a very neat
place to go and
discover.
Rainforest Animals
• There is a quantity of animals in
the rainforest biome. Every
animal has its own unique
adaptation. One kind of animal
is the Kinkajou. It long tail and
strong teeth so it lives in the
upper canopy where most
animals don’t live. The Poison
Arrow Frog is one of the many
frogs in the rainforest. It
poisons things and has special
colors so animals don’t eat it.
Rainforest Animals
• There is a multitude of
monkeys too. The
Proboscis monkey has
a long tail to swing
from branch to branch.
The Red Shanked
Douc Langur also uses
its arms and legs.
Rainforest Animals
• The Common Palm
Civet hunts alone so it
may be easy to catch
but they are expert
climbers. A really
interesting animal is
the Slender loris
because it moves
without making any
noise.
Rainforest Animals
• Of course, there are
many toucans in the
rain forest. They have
strong toes. As you
can see there are many
animals in the
rainforest and the rain
forest is an exciting
place.
Rainforest Climate
• The rainforest is very
unique with climate and
location. Rainforests
stretch though 50
countries. Rainforests also
cover 6% of Earth’s total
land surface. Some of the
places you could find
rainforests are South
America, Africa, Asia,
Sumatra, New Guinea,
and, Queenland.
Rainforest Climate
• The climate is perfect
for plant and animal
growth. The average
temperature is 77
degrees F. The
temperature does not
often change.
• Rain, rain, and more
rain.
Rainforest Climate
•
Rainforests get 250
center meters if not
more per year. As you
can see rainforests
have a good climate
and gets plenty of rain.
Rainforest Plants
• The Rainforest plants
are very unique. In the
rainforest a multitude
of plants grow.
Rainforest Plants
•
Vegatation A Layer
The emergents are widely spaced trees. They grow 100 to 120 feet. Emergents have
umbrella shaped canopies that extend above the general canopy of the forest. Since they
must contend with drying winds, they tend to have small leaves. Some species are
decidous during the brief dry season.

Rainforest Plants
• There is also four plants I
will name.
1. The climbers are green
stemmed plants such as a
philodendron that remain
in the understory.Many
climbers, including the
domesticated yams
(Africa) , and sweet
potatoes (South America)
store nutrients in roots and
tubers.
Rainforest Plants
2.Lianas are woody
vines that grow
rapidly up the tree
trunks when there is a
temporary gap in the
canopy,flowers, and
fruit in the tree tops of
the A and B Layer.
Rainforest Plants
3. Epiphytes are the so called air
plants that grow on branches
high in any trees.
4. Parasites derive their nutrients
by tapping into roots or stems
of photosynthetic species.
Those are the plants of the
Rainforest.
Rainforest Biome
• As you can see the
rainforest biome is a
great place. It is full
of wonderful plants
and animals. I hope
you get the chance to
learn more.
