What plants and animals do you find in a rainforest's?

It matters what kind of rainforest. If it rains alot in one rainforest, plants and animals that like rain would be there. If it hot in one place, plants and animals that don't like rain would be there.In a Temperate Deciduous forest animals have adapted by hibernating, storing food, and fish and migrate from place to place in the forest. An example of one of these animals is the American black bear. Other animals that do some of these things are coyotes, duckbill platypuses, Eastern chipmunks, fat dormice and many others. They all migrate, some fish and some hibernate. They all live in the deciduous forest.In a Coniferous forest animals have adapted by hibernating in the winter, migrating and some grow thick fur. Wild rabbits are one of the animals in a coniferous forest who grow thick fur in the winter. Animals in coniferous forests shed their fur in the summer. There are elk porcupines, deer's, tigers and animals like these. Some other things animals have are dark furs to camouflage.In a Tropical rain forest animals don't have so much fur like animals in other forests. This is so, because tropical forests are really hot and humid. They adapt by eating certain foods because there is a lot of competing going on in tropical forests for food and water. An example is a toucan with a long beak. They have long beaks because they eat nuts; the beak is to cut into the nut. Another example is ants. They grab leaves from plants and put them in the ground. Their saliva and the leaves make fungus, which ants eat.In a deciduous forest plants have adapted by shedding their leaves in fall. They do this because it gets cold and trees lose their moisture. In order to keep that moisture they stop sending water to the leaves. Another way they adapt is by growing their leaves wide to catch sunlight. Wildflowers in a deciduous forest adapt by growing early in spring time. They do this because they know that the trees' leaves will fall off and block the sun-light for them to grow. To protect themselves from cold winters, trees have thick bark.In a coniferous forest plants adapt by growing needles. They grow needles instead of leaves, because the leaves fall off in winter and it takes a lot of nutrients and sun light to grow the leaves back. The sun isn't always up high in the sky so they don't have enough energy to grow leaves. The energy they don't use for leaves can be used for growing the trunk and branches. The forest gets a lot of rain but, the water freezes in winter so the trees have needles. The needles help limit the amount of water needed for the plant. The needles shape makes snow slides of off them in the winter. The branches won't break often because piling snow on the needles and branches doesn't happen, all because of the needles shape.To prevent moisture lost in the tropical rain forest, they have smooth, thin bark. In the tropical rain forest, leaves have thick waxy coating and are big to collect water. The trees have buttresses which are like extra trunks, which help the tree stand in the moisture. The waxy coating makes the water fall off the leaves. Without the water on the leaves fungus won't grow on it. To attract animals, flowers on the floor of the forest have designs. They attract them so they can pollinate them since wind doesn't reach the forest floor.In a deciduous forest called Satoyama, In Tokyo, a group called "Totoro Hometown Campaign" helps endangered animals there. A group of residents near it, were concerned about the wild life there started it in 1990. They are saving over 1000 plants and animals!In a coniferous forest, in Tennessee, They are helping to conserve plants and animals that are endangered. Many of the animals there can't be found anywhere else in the world. The animals have limited space and start dying off because of buildings in Tennessee are taking away there homes. They are still trying to save the endangered animals, by control under the Endangered Species Act.Tropical rainforests are endangered. Since the tropical rain forests- the home of many animals and plants- are endangered so are all the animals that only live tropical rain forests. The organization WWF helps tropical rain forest. They have been helping to save tropical rain forests for 35 years.There are different layers in a tropical rain forest. The first one is the tall trees and animals that live in them. The second is filled with shorter trees and plants such as shrubs. The third is filled with even shorter plants algae that live in ponds and animals that walk or move on the forest floor. The average rainfall is 200-1000 centimeters a year in a tropical rainforest. Rain forests are home to 50% of earth's animals and plants. Only in the rain forests, 70% of the plants the U.S discovered were useful to National Cancer Institute. Deciduous forest is also called temperate forests. The trees in the deciduous forests are also called hardwood, because of their hard bark and in the winter they loose their leaves. Some of the trees in coniferous forests can be found in the deciduous forests. Coniferous forests are also called Taiga. They are known as coniferous forests because of all the conifers that live there. Coniferous forests have From 300 to 900 millimeters of rain, a year. Almost all the plants in the coniferous forest have needles. Most of the animals that live in the coniferous forests are herbivores.As you can see there are many ways that deciduous forests, coniferous forests and tropical forests are different. Their animal adaptations are different along with plants adaptations and where they are located. They are all over this earth and are very important to earth.
