A rainforest is a wet, warm dense place. Rainforests get at least 100 inches (254 centimetres) of rain per year. There trees and plants in a rainforest generate heaps of Earth’s oxygen. Rainforests cover only 6% of Earth’s surface but hold more then half of the world’s plants and animals species!

There are lots of animals that inhabit rainforests. Some of them include elephants, butterflies, snakes, eagles, tigers, monkeys chimps, crocodiles, squirrels, bats, frogs, owls, jaguars, gorillas, lemurs, wolves, beetles, piranha and leopards.

First, small plants and vines get eaten by small rodents of animals. Then that small animal gets eaten by another carnivore and then a big apex predator like a tiger eats that animal. Also, even though lions are called ‘The King of the Jungle’ they don’t usually inhabit jungles.

Just like there are heaps of animals in rainforests, there are also lots of plants. Some of them are bamboo, orchids, water lilies, the white trillium, cocoa trees and lots more. The white trillium flower is an amazing plants since chewing on the leaves cures snake bite, chewing on the petals can ease childbirth and chewing on the sepals can help cure a fever.

Rainforests are located mostly between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon rainforest in South Africa. The biggest rainforest in Australia is the Daintree in Queensland.

Tigers are one of the biggest cat species there are lots of tiger sub-species of tigers and they are mostly known for their orange fur and black stripes. No two tigers are the same so all tigers are unique.

Tigers are meat eaters and great hunters they inhabit rainforests and sometimes grasslands and savannahs. Their favourite prey in deer or wild boar but grass, berries and fruit are also eaten.

Tigers don’t have many babies at a time as other animals. The fathers don’t usually help take care of the cubs. Tiger cubs ‘play-fight’ to ready themselves for later life.

Tigers are rainforests are disappearing every day! Please help!
