Generally, rainforests are known to be dense, tropical or temperate forests filled with mostly everygreen trees that are warm and humid with lots of wildlife.
Rainforests can be found in any continent except Antartica. Some well known rainforests are the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, or the Congo Rainforest in Central Africa.
The climate of the rainforest is usually warm and humid, and the temperatures stay high year round, never dropping below 68 degrees. Rainfall is especially high, averaging 78 inches per year.
The wide range of plants fosters a very diverse ecosystem with many insects, birds, and animals.
Most animals living in a rainforest all connect through different adaptations. It is common for animals to have camouflage as a means of hiding themselves from predators, nocturnal and diurnal modes, and poison as protection from predators. It is also common to see mutualism in the rainforest. Not only does the tree give a monkey shelter, but sometimes monkeys eat the flowers that grow from the trees, and pollen collects on their fur, which helps spread and pollenate flowers, creating new growth in the ecosystem.
