Tropical Forest

Tropical forests are found near the Earth's equator. There are two main types of tropical forest: the rainforest and the seasonal forest. Both get more than 8.5 feet of rain every year. Seasonal forests have a wet season and a dry season. However, in the rainforest there isn't a dry season. In a tropical rainforest it rains regularly throughout the year.

Tropical forests are the home to a huge number of animal species. In fact, the number of species living in these two types of tropical forests is more than all other habitats combined.
