Give an account of rainforest and …

Rainforests:

Since it rains heavily in this region, the forests are very thick. The forests are so dense that sunlight does not reach the land. Hence the land is damp and dark. Consequently, only shade tolerant vegetation can grow here. Orchids and bromeliads grow here.

Birds: Toucans, humming birds, birds of paradise are found here. The brilliantly coloured plumage and oversized bills for eating; make these birds very different from the birds commonly seen in India. These birds also make loud sounds.

Animals: Monkeys, sloths, and ant eating tapirs are found here. Various species of reptiles and snakes are also found here. Crocodiles, snakes and pythons are in plenty. Some of the species of snakes are anaconda and boa constrictor. Many insects and species of fishes (including the flesh eating Piranha fish) are found here.
