Tropical rain forest, luxuriant forest found in wet tropical uplands and lowlands around the Equator. Tropical rain forests, which worldwide make up one of Earth’s largest biomes (major life zones), are dominated by broad-leaved trees that form a dense upper canopy (layer of foliage) and contain a diverse array of vegetation and other life.

# data[].attributes.body
Rain forests are located mainly  in South and Central America, Africa, Oceania (the islands around Australia), and Asia. Smaller rain forests are located in Madagascar, Australia and nearby islands, India, and other locations in the tropics.
Tropical rain forests are found around the equator, mostly between the Tropic of Cancer and The Tropic of Capricorn area.

Tropical rain forests are lush and warm all year long! Temperatures don’t even change much between night and day. The average temperature in tropical rain forests ranges from 70 to 85°F (21 to 30°C).

The yearly rainfall ranges from 80 to 400 inches (200 to 1000 cm), and it can rain hard. It can downpour as much as 2 inches (5 cm) in an hour!

                                          What is the soil like?

# data[].attributes.body
Most tropical rain forest soils relatively poor in nutrients. Millions of years of weathering and torrential rains have washed most of the nutrients out of the soil. the soil of tropical rain forest contain less organic matter than temperate forest. Most of the available nutrients are found in living plants and animal material. Nutrients found in the soil are often formed in a way that is inaccessible by plants.

Bromeliads- Some live on the branches and trunks of rain forest trees. They have a remarkable way of getting water and food. Their long, curved leaves overlap at the base, creating a tight little bowl, a water tank! The leaves act as gutters to collect rain, with the tank holding the water.

Orchids-  Orchids have adapted well to life in the canopy. Their large roots enable the orchid to absorb water and nutrients. Orchids have an extra root system, they can store large quantities of water for use during dry periods.

The three- toed Sloth- Despite being slow, sloths are well adapted to their environment. They are built perfectly for life in the trees having arms that are longer than their legs and, curved feet for grasping branches. Sloths cant walk, but weirdly are good swimmers. Their slow movements helps them stay unseen by predators. The grown algae on their fur allows the adaptation of camouflage. They  have three extra neck bones to allow them to turn their heads 270°, which is useful in a world where predators can be above or below them.

Jaguar- Jaguars have jaws and a large heads for piercing into the skull of their prey. Unlike every other large cat, who attack at the neck, jaguars often kill their prey with a single bite to the back of the head. The speed of a jaguar is an unstoppable force on the forest floor. Another is that they are primarily nocturnal, with high activity levels at dusk and dawn. This is an advantage as majority of the tropical rain forest species would be asleep.

Botfly larvae and jaguars- Botflies lay their eggs on jaguars and many other animals. But once, the eggs hatch, the baby larvae will grow to maturity by feeding upon the flesh of the Jaguar.

Ants and Flowers- The ants stays on the flower drinking its sector, which is enjoyable drink for ants, and scares away any insects that come to harm the flower. While, the flower provides food and protection.

Orchids and Trees- Epiphyte are plants that grow on other plants, usually grow on trees. The epiphyte, orchid, gets more sunlight , a place, to grow, and is more often visited by pollinators allowing reproduction. While the orchid receives all of these benefits, it also has little effect on the tree it grows on.
