=TROPICAL RAIN FORESTS=

More than more than half of all of earth's plant and animal species live in tropical rain forests. Tropical are found close to the equator. Temperate are found along coasts in the temperate zone. The temperature for the tropical forest is 93+ degrees and can go below 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The Average rainfall of the rain forest is 50 to 260 inches. The animals in the tropical rain forest include the sloth and the monarch butterfly. Sloths are covered by algae that they use as camouflage. Plus, since they move so slowly, it is harder to spot them. Some plants in the rain forest include Lianas and Strangler Figs. Stranger Fig seeds are carried to other tree's branches and the seeds grow a long root down to the soil since the seeds can't survive the soil.
