      - CLIMATE: ranges from 70 to 85°F (21 to 30°C).
      - FLORA: Orchids, Philodendrons, Ferns, Bromeliads, Kapok Trees, Banana Trees, Rubber Trees, Bam- boo, Trees, Cassava Trees, Avocado Trees.
      - FAUNA: Mammals: Monkeys, Bats, Possums, Kangaroos, Tigers, Foxes etc... Birds: African Gray Parrot, Australian King Parrot ...
      - FUN FACTS:
        
        There are several different types of rainforests.
        
        Rainforests cover less than 3 percent of the planet.
        
        The world's largest rainforest is the Amazon rainforest.
        
        Rainforests house more species of plants and animals than any other terrestrial ecosystem.
        
        Much of the life in the rainforest is found in the trees.
    - - LOCATION: northern hemisphere (North America — including Canada, the United States, and central Mexico — Europe, and western regions of Asia — including Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea, and parts of Russia).
      - CLIMATE: 50°F (10°C). Summers are mild, and average about 70°F (21°C)
      - FLORA: trees such as oak, birch, beech, aspen, elm and maple, also have teak trees, palm trees and ...
      - FAUNA: insects, spiders, reptiles and birds. Mice, rabbits, foxes, deer, otters, bears.
      - FUN FACTS: The coldest temperatures in temperate deciduous forests range from about 37°F to 64°F. Deciduous trees in these forests drop their leaves in fall and regrow them in spring. The trees in temperate deciduous forests are angiosperms, meaning they have flowers and produce seeds.
    - - LOCATION: Between 50º and 60º north latitude, across most of Canada, Alaska, Russia and Northem Europe.
      - ClLIMATE: often considered to be cool and moist. Cold winters and cool summers caused by Arctic air masses are typical of the coniferous forest. Moisture levels are maintained by summer rains and heavy winter snows.
      - FLORA: A coniferous forest contains evergreen trees that bear cones. Elegant pines grow in this biome, along with spruce, fir, and tamarack. In much of the northern forest, the conifers mingle with deciduous trees, particularly aspen, birch, sugar maple, and basswood.
      - FAUNA: wolves and bears to large cats, moose, elk, porcupines, deer, squirrels, birds, insects, and snakes
      - FUN FACTS:

      - CLIMATE: hot and dry summers, while winters tend to be cool and moist. These two types of vegetation occur between 30 and 40 degrees northern and southern latitudes on the westward sides of continents and include five regions.
      - FLORA; scrubland, scrub, holm oaks, cork oaks, oak, pine trees, cedar forest, among others.
      - FAUNA: ibex, deer, roe deer, wild boar, rabbit, fox, marten, genet and the emblematic wolves, wild cats and Iberian lynxes.
      - FUN FACTS: 356,366 km2 is the mediterranean forest
        there is so much hot and dry in mediterranean vegetation so the forests and plants there have small hard and leathery leaves to reduce the transpiration rate in them so that they can save more and more water.
        The forests of the Mediterranean region are essential to maintaining water and soil resources. The forests protect watersheds and regulate the local climate by increasing the air humidity and thereby reducing the intensity of drought. In this way, they are a barrier against desertification.
