  1. The Rainforest By Katie Dusek  * Means vocabulary.

  2. The Average Climate • In an average year in a tropical rain forest, the climate is very humid. Mostly because of rainfall, which is about 20 inches per year. • It is found near the *equator. That means that there is more direct sunlight hitting the land and sea than anywhere else.

  3. Plants • The plants in the rainforest are very large and bright. • It has a lot of bamboo. • One of the many flowers there is the Bougainvillea. It has Bright pink peddles. • The temperature is very humid there, so they need to be able to *absorb a lot of water in order to live. • Some of the main plants are- Curare (a large leaf that is often called an “elephant ear”), Durian (a very tall tree that grows to be about 90 to 130 feet), and the Mangrove Forests ( their roots look like large bowls so they can live on the edge of where the rain forest meets the ocean)

  4. Animals • The animals need to be able to live in thick muggy areas. Which means, no Polar bears.  • The “ king of the forest” is our very own mascot. That’s right, the tiger. • Another type of animals that are common are monkeys. From howler monkeys to chimpanzees, there is never a quite moment in the rain forest. • Even in the night the bats, owls, and some types of mammals are *nocturnal.

  5. Location • The rainforest is right next to the equator. • That’s why it is so hot and muggy.

  6. Vocabulary • Equator- The imaginary line in the middle if the earth. • Absorb- To take in, consume. • Nocturnal- To sleep in the day and eat at night.
