Summary Introduction
Introduction: The tropical forest is the rain forest which contains the largest array of vegetation. This forest contains about 100 to 200 distinct varieties of trees. It consists of 14 monkey species, 86 frog species, 84 toad species and 100 bird species. It is usually wet, contains a temperature below 180 C and the rainfall exceeds 1800 millimeters per year.
