It may be oldest vascular rainforest plant
Probably the most "famous" rainforest on the northeastern coast is the Daintree, which is believed to be the oldest rainforest in the world.
The Amazon Rainforest is the oldest rainforest in the world, estimated to be around 55 million years old. It is also the largest tropical rainforest, covering approximately 5.5 million square kilometers across South America. The Amazon Rainforest is home to an incredibly diverse range of plant and animal species, many of which are not found anywhere else on Earth.
This occurs in north Queensland, Australia. The oldest living rainforest is believed to be the Daintree Rainforest in far north Queensland, and it meets the Great Barrier Reef at Cape Tribulation.
There is no mining in the rainforest. It is a registered World Heritage listed sight as of 1988. Once leases were given to mine Tin, however, if that happened many plant and animal species would be lost forever. This is the oldest rainforest on our planet and the only one to survive the Ice Age. The Daintree is older than the Amazon Rainforest, and we have learned the value of the Amazon, haven't we?
A warm rainforest biome would be located in the highlands.
with out the rainforest's lots of animals would have no where to live
do hunters hunt in a tropical rainforest
YES, the Amazon rainforest is a tropical rainforest. If you had been bothered to research it would probably have said that in most websites and books!
If you have ever been in the rainforest you would know that it is the penguin.
By the equator.
