Exploring Rainforests

The video explores rainforests, highlighting their abundance of trees and rain. It distinguishes between warm and cooler rainforests, explaining their unique characteristics, layers, and the diverse plants and animals that inhabit them. The warm rainforests, located in the tropics, are rich in biodiversity with distinct layers hosting various species. Cooler rainforests, found further from the tropics, have coniferous trees and animals adapted to colder climates. The video concludes with an invitation to learn more about these fascinating ecosystems.
