Rainforest Ecosystems and Adaptations

The video explores rainforests, highlighting their abundance of rain and trees. It distinguishes between warm and cooler rainforests, explaining their unique climates, flora, and fauna. Warm rainforests, located in the tropics, have layers with diverse plants and animals. Cooler rainforests, found further from the tropics, feature conifers and animals adapted to colder climates. The video concludes with an invitation to learn more about these fascinating ecosystems.
