Explore the Rainforest! Ecology for Kids

The video explores rainforests, highlighting their two main types: warm and cooler rainforests. Warm rainforests, located in the tropics, are rich in biodiversity and have distinct layers with various plants and animals. Cooler rainforests, found further from the tropics, have coniferous trees and animals adapted to cooler climates. The video emphasizes the unique adaptations of flora and fauna in these ecosystems and encourages further exploration of rainforests.
