Rainforest Ecosystem

more rainforest by tauntingpanda on Flickr	Rainforest Ecosystem is described by the heavy rainfall that the area gets yearly.  In a year, Rainforests normally get between 68 and 78 inches of rain.  Because of the large vegetation, many areas do not get any sunlight. This makes it very difficult to walk in the Rainforest.  The Rainforest is home to a large variety of animals, insects, and plants. Slide Options : Move UP,   DOWN,   DELETE,   Insert BLANK Slide
