The Chimpanzee’s biome is a tropical rainforrest. Tropical rainforrests have a very wet climate. They usually get about 100 inches of rain a year. And the temperature usually doesn’t get higher than 93 degrees or fall below 68 degrees. They actually cover about 6% of earth’s surface and produce 40% of earth’s oxygen. Some specific plants that resides in the rain forrest are vines and and Victorian water lily. There are no really dominating forces in a rain forests. Like the species who live there for the most part get along okay. Some other animals you can find in a rainforest are Toucans, Spider Monkies, and Sloths. You can find many examples of Flaura in the rainforest. One is the Orchids. They're flowering plants that attract bugs to pollinate them with their bright colors. They grow upwards like vines and need to be supported. Another example is Bengal Bamboo. These things are huge. They can grow up to 80 feet tall and they're really important to the rainforest. They prevent floods during large rain storms but sucking up the water. Another example of Flaura are Epiphytes. These are things like Cacti, Lichens, and ferns. They usually grow in tall trees so they can get massive sunlight.
There's many examples of Fauna in the Rainforest. One is the Poison Dart Frog. Those are frogs with enough poison on their back to kill 10 grown men. Another example is the Margay, the Margay is a small cat that's 3 feet long who eat small mammals like squirrels. One more example is the Collard Anteater. They have a really long tongue which it uses to catch ants to eats. The tongue is useful because it allows them to get into cracks that other animals couldn't get into to catch its's prey.
One major environmental problem of the rainforest is that logging companies cut down the trees for timber to make flooring and furniture and such. When you cut down the trees you disrupt the lives of the species in that tree. So what they do now is they selectively cut trees rather than just clearing out a whole space and it saves millions of trees each year.
