[1] The world's largest rain forest is the Amazon Basin. [2] Most sources identify the second largest as the Congo Basin rain forest. A minority opinion gives the title to the Daintree rain forest of Australia. But the sizes of the Amazon, Congo and Papua New Guinea rain forests run in the millions. And the figures for Daintree are in the thousands. So Daintree's claim to fame may be as Australia's largest rain forest, and as the world's oldest at 135 million years. [3] The third largest is uniformly being identified as Papua New Guinea's Gulf Province rain forest.

Why do they do cattle ranching in the rain forest?

They don't use the rainforest. It's the land that the rainforest was once on that is used. Rainforests are cut down and burned to allow for more farming to be done, and grass seed to be sown so cattle can graze in those areas. The more land that a cattle baron can purchase, the larger his cattle herd can be and the more profit he can obtain when selling excess stock. Land that had been "improved" or been converted from rainforest to agricultural land is cheaper than land that has been used for agricultural purposes, thus making it a good investment for such ranchers to make as a means to increase their land size and thus their herd as well.

What animals in the rainforest are prey?
