Climate and Vegetation~
The rainforest's temperature is usually warm and humid and ranges between 68*-93* F.
The rain fall in the rainforest averages approximately 158 inches per year.
The trees here have thin, smooth bark because there is no need to retain water in this humid climate. The leaves of the rainforest vegetation have adapted to high amounts of rain fall by developing " drip tips," these help shed excess water quickly.

Wildlife~
The wildlife in this biome have had to adapt over time to the humidity, rain fall, climate, vegetation, and food sources. This means that the wildlife has had changes in their fur, feathers, hair, mouths, and diet. The wildlife here has developed very helpful camouflage to hide from predators; the camouflage they developed consist of bright warning colors and fur, feathers, hair blending into the color of their surroundings.The South American three-toed sloth
uses camouflage and slowness to escape predators. Green algae
grows in the sloth's fur, which helps camouflage it in the forest canopy. Sloths
are among the slowest moving animals. They hang from branches in the canopy, and are so still
that predators such as jaguars don't see them. Parrots
and toucan eat nuts, and developed big strong beaks to crack open the tough shells of the Brazil nuts.
