Rainforests are very dense, warm and wet forests. They are habitats for millions of Flora and Fauna species which live in different layers or zones of rainforests. These layers are based on the living environment of plants and animals living in these rainforests. Rainforests are very dense, warm and wet forests.

Some people don't know it but our worlds rainforests are home to more than half of the worlds animals including reptiles, mammals, birds and insects. Rainforests contain as many as 125 species of mammals, 100 species of reptiles, 60 species of amphibians and over 100 species of butterfly.

 In 15 square kilometres of rainforest as many as 100 different mammals can be found. These animals occupy every available space from burrows, to the branches of the emergent layer. Most of the mammals in the rainforest are nocturnal which means they spend their days in the rainforest sleeping and only hunt or move around at night. Some of the animals that live in the rainforest are jaguars, gorillas, monkeys and cheetahs. In 15 square kilometres of rainforest as many as 100 different mammals can be found.

Insect Insect 90 percent of rainforest animals are insects, which are mostly beetles. However scientists believe that the most fascinating of all the insects are the Leaf Cutter Ants. Leaf Cutter Ants are remarkable because they actually cultivate their own food using saliva.

Climate Climate The climate of a rainforest is lush and wet and has an average temperature of 27oC. The average amount of rainfall a tropical rainforest gets a year is between 90 and 130 cm of water. The temperature all year round is usually hot - and they don't have the same seasons as Europe. Temperature can reach up to 30oC in the day and 20oC at night.

Because the temperature is usually hot that helps to make it rain. Roots on trees soak up all the water from the ground. The water is sucked up through the trunk into the leaves and then heat makes the water vapour condense to make clouds. Rain clouds produce rainfall and it drops back on to the forest and the cycle starts again. Because the temperature is usually hot that helps to make it rain.
