6. What we Learned About our Biome
What I learned about my biome is that the rain forest has very high rainfall. What really surprised me is that how many endangered species there are.There are also many threats to the animals which is what's making them endangered. Some threats are that the trees are being cut down and destroying the environment and animals habitats.
