Rainforests cover less than one tenth of our planet, yet contain half of the species to be found on Earth. With a daily temperature of around 25 degrees C, the air is saturated with moisture from the daily rainfall and thick vegetation - more than 8 metres of rain falls each year. The brackish waters are home to a variety of exciting creatures. Watch as the archer fish hunt insects with their inbuilt "water pistols". The roots of the mangrove trees provide protection and function as birthing place and nursery för many marine species. |
