The document provides information about tropical rainforests, including their climate and location. It states that tropical rainforests receive between 1500-2500mm of rain each year and have high humidity levels of around 70%. They are located along the equator in regions like Central and South America, Central Africa, and Southern Asia. The document also describes some common plant and animal species found in tropical rainforests, such as Bengal bamboo, orchids, spider monkeys, and morpho butterflies.

The Tropical rainforest is very wet. Rain falls nearly every day. The total rain fall per year is between 1500 and 2500mm. The air is very humid because of some of the high temperatures the rainforest sometimes get. The air is so humid it fills about 70% of the air. www.freeimages.co.uk
The temperature in the day is between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius. During the night it is between 20 and 25 degrees. Tropical rainforests grow along the equator so they are in a hot climate. Temperate rainforests grow in other places and tropical rainforests get more rain than temperate ones. www.freeimages.co.uk
The Tropical Rainforests need to grow in warm places so they grow along the equator. Some of the continents include Central and South America, Central Africa and Southern Asia. www.freeimages.co.uk
One well known tropical rainforest is called the Amazon Rainforest and is located in the upper section of South America. These countries have smaller rainforests: Southern China, North East Australia, India, Madagascar and Papua New Guinea.
The Rainforest is full of wonderful plants and here are some of them.  Bengal bamboo  Coconut tree  Passion Flower  Drip leaves  Mangrove Forests  Curare  Orchids  Rubber Tree  Buttress Roots
Bengal Bamboo Bengal Bamboo is found in the Southeast Asian Rainforest. The Bamboo does very well in a moist environment with lots of rain. It likes the temperature between 4 and 38 degrees Celsius. It can grow between 40 and 80 feet high. The colour is dark green and some types are sort of brown. The leaves are long and narrow. DID YOU KNOW? • That Bengal Bamboo is actually a grass. It is the largest grass in the world! • It grows very fast and it has a life span between 25 and 40 years. www.freeimages.co.uk
Rainforest Orchids Rainfores t Orchids are found everywhere in the world but majorly in the rainforests. They come in many different colours, sizes and shapes. The Bucket Orchid is from Central America and it has small bucket on it (as says its name) that attracts bees. World- wide, there are over 25,000 different species of orchids. In the rainforest, orchids grow on tree branches and tree trunks. DID YOU KNOW? • The flavour vanilla come from the vanilla orchid. • Orchids grow on every continent apart from Antarctica. www.freedigitalphotos.net
The Rainforest is also full of wonderful animals and here are some of them: • Spider Monkey • Toucan • Gorilla • Jaguar • Sloth • Vampire Bat • Morpho Butterfly • Orangutan • Bengal Tiger • Macaw • Red-eye tree frog
Morpho Butterfly The Morpho Butterfly is born as a brown-red caterpillar with patches on it’s back coloured lime-green. Their wingspan is between 13- 17cm, with brown dots around the edge and bright blue wings. They only like it very humid and a temperature between 35 and 40 degrees Celsius. They try to find rotten fruit to drink the juice out of as food. Their predators include baby jaguars, fish and birds. DID YOU KNOW? • There are actually about 50 species of Morpho butterflies. • That they are called the Morpho Butterfly because the underside of the wing is the colour of a moth’s wing. www.freedigitalphotos.net
Spider Monkey Spider Monkeys live in South and Central America. The are omnivores and they are mammals. Their life span is between 20-30 years in the wild. Their size is between 14-26 inches or 35 to 66cm. Their weight is about 6 kg. If they are in a group, it’s called a troop. They spend much of their time swinging from tree to tree. They’re usually in groups of 30. Their diet is made up of 90% fruit and nuts, seeds, eggs and insects. DID YOU KNOW? • That their name was made after their look when they have all four limbs on braches, with their tail and it makes them look like a spider. www.freeimages.co.uk
