THE TROPICAL RAINFORESTS
The tropical region has generally a hot climate because of its location around the equator. Days and nights are almost equal in length throughout the year. These regions get plenty of rainfall. An important feature of this region is the tropical rainforests. Tropical rainforests are found in Western Ghats and Assam in India, Southeast Asia, Central America and Central Asia. This region supports wide variety of plants and animals because of continuous warmth and rain. The major types of animals living in the rainforests are monkeys, apes, elephants, lions, tigers, leopards, lizards, snakes, birds and insects.
Since the numbers are large, there is intense competition for food and shelter. Many animals are adapted to living on the trees. Many tropical animals have sensitive hearing, sharp eyesight, thick skin and a skin color which helps them to camouflage by blending with the surroundings.
