What is a Tropical Rainforest
A Tropical Rainforest is the most biologically diverse of all the biomes. It holds more animals and plants than any other biome. It holds many unique animals like big cats, birds of paradise, large rodents, and other unique animals. It has to receive around 1750 - 2000 mm of rain a year to actually be a Tropical Rainforest.

Animals
Threats
Unfortunately, lots of rainforests are being cut down for wood or more space for cattle. This constant cutting of trees is making the rainforests smaller and ruining the home of many animals that live in the rainforest. If we lose the rainforests we lose some of the most interesting and biologically diverse animals on the planet.
