Biomes
Biome name: Rain forest
Description:
The rain forest is nearly self-watering. Plants release water into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration. In the tropics, each canopy tree can release about 200 gallons (760 liters) of water each year. The moisture helps create the thick cloud cover that hangs over most rain forests. Even when not raining, these clouds keep the rain forest humid and warm.
Plants & Animals: Sloths, War Ants, Alligators, Butteress Roots, Lianas, and Orchids
