Tropical rain forests are rain forests generally found near the equator. They are common in Asia, Africa, South America, Central America, and on many of the Pacific Islands.

Within the World Wildlife Fund's biome classification scheme, tropical rain forests are considered a type of tropical wet forest (or tropical moist broad leaf forest) and may also be referred to as lowland equatorial evergreen rainforest's The tropical rain forests are home to more species than all other biomes combined. The leafy tops of tall trees-extending from 50 to 80 meters above the forest floor-forms an understory. Organic matter that falls to the forest floor quickly decomposes, and the nutrients are recycled.

they are commonly found in Asia Africa south America central America and many of the pacific islands.

That is a good question. Over 200 species live in the rain forest, including new bacteria, and other sub specimen. Panthers, tree frogs, and about more than 3 dozen other animals you know are in the rain forest.

The reason why I like this question so much, is because you didn't ask about JUST animals, but plants too! Ferns, Aloe and many other plants, including fly traps live here too.
