How many types of animals are there in the African rainforests?

Answer 1

Many consider only the tropical rain forests as being rain forests. There are also temperate rain forests. The definition is dependent on the amount of rain not the location.

Rain forests present a diverse ecological community where they occur. The animals and plants are dependent on the location (Tropical rain forests would have different biota than the rain forests in British Columbia or the Balkans.

The rainforests hold more than 6% of the earth's flora and fauna species frog insects birds macaw gorilla snakes (including anaconda) lizards spider sloth butterflies chameleon orangutan and more

Answer 2

While mammals are certainly found in this biome, we have seen many of them (deer, bears, coyotes, etc.) in other biomes. I thought I'd focus on a few other species here.

You can't go to the Pacific Northwest without encountering a diversity of slugs. These shell less gastropods are very much at home here; the humid air prevents desiccation (although I well remember encountering banana slugs on early morning jogs in Los Angeles; they are able to live in that desert city thanks to well-watered lawns). The longer of the antennae have eyes at the ends of the stalks and the slug itself secretes a trail of slime (not unlike some po - wait, I'm not going to stoop to that joke here, it's too easy). The slime helps it crawl and protects the soft underside from sharp objects.

Below are two birds from the temperate rainforest. Clark's Nutcracker is at home high in the mountains of the west (not just in the temperate rainforests), but it will be found at high elevations. The Blue Grouse is a northwest endemic. When I wanted to confirm the ID on this photo I emailed Julie Zickefoose, a noted wildlife illustrator and writer, and she confirmed the ID stating that it would be a life bird for her (that is, if she had seen it.
