About 75 per cent of all the types of animals that we know come from rainforests Thousands and thousands of animals live in rainforests There are many very beautiful birds, insects and reptiles Many of them live in the trees, over 30 meters from the ground There are also thousands of different plants – and lots of tall trees!
