Rainforest FACTS Tropical rainforests are forests with tall trees, warm climate, and lots of rain. In some rainforests it rains more than one inch every day! Rainforests are found in Africa, Asia, Australia, and Central and South America. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon rainforest. Tropical rainforests support the greatest diversity of living organisms on Earth. Although they cover less than 2% of Earth’s surface, rainforests house more than 50% of the plants and animals on Earth. Many well-known animals including monkeys, frogs, lizards, birds, snakes, sloths, and small cats are found in the canopy. Many of the largest rainforest animals are found on the forest floor. Some of these include elephant, tapir, and the jaguar. To visit the middle ponds of the water fall, cross the herb garden and go down the stairs. Chamise Plants that grow on the rainforest floor usually have large leaves to catch as much light as possible.
