We also lose plants and animals. Killing animals is bad for the rain forest. for example we are loosing elephants because people want there tusks.

The Climate The seasons do not change in the tropical rainforest. It has been hot and wet for millions of years. The average temperature year- round is about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The tropical rain forest is the wettest place on earth. It rains every day. In one year it may rain about 100 to 400 inches. This means that 9 to 30 feet of rain may fall each year.

The tigers black stripes look like shadows from grass.

Jaguar Found in Mexico, Central and South America. Although not usually thought of as an adaptation, whiskers serve an important purpose for many animals. In most cases, whiskers around the face, specifically the mouth area, help the animal feel its way through tight spots.
