The tropical rainforest biome is a thick forest that recieves rain almost everyday. In a year it recieves over 100 inches of rain. The tropical rainforest is located near the tropic regions around the equator. It is divided into four layers, the emergent, the canopy, the understory, and the forest floor. The average temperature of the rainforest is 77° Fahrenheit. The temperature rarely goes above 93° Fahrenheit or drops below 67° Fahrenheit.

__Five Kingdoms__
Kingdom **Monera** has many types of bacteria and cyanobacteria. They are the smallest organisms in the rainforest. Some bacteria that exist in the tropcial rainforest is Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Beijerinckii, klebsella, and Azotobacter. Some examples of cyanobacteria in are Nostoc, Scytonema, and Stigonema.

Kingdom **Protist** has several types of protozoans and algae that live in the tropical rainforest. The types of protists are Flagellites, Plasmodium, and Thallasiosira. One type of algae the tropical rainforest has is Bluegreen algae.

The tropical rainforest has very many organisms from the **Fungi** kingdom. Some of them are jelly fungi (//Auricularia aoricula-judae//), gilled fungi (//Phylloporos//), coral fungi ( //Nectria cinnabanna)//, stinkhorn fungi (//Onygenaequina)//, bracket fungi (//nontus radiatus)//, toothed fungi (//Tarzetta cupulants//), and slime mold (//Fuligigo septica//).

Many types of **plants** live in the tropical rainforest from Kingdom Plants. An example of a nonvascular plant is Island Blanket Moss (//Gaillardia grandiflora)//. One example of club mosses is Branchy Moss (//Pterobryon hyphales//). Some examples of ferns are Sierra Palms (//Prestoea mantana//) and Heliconias (//Helic onis caribaea)//. Some angiosperms that are located in the tropical rainforest are Cohune palm trees (//Orbigyna cohune//), orchids (//Oncidium sphacehtum//), banana trees (//Musa X paradisiacu L//), coconut tree (//Cocos nucifera)//, bougainvillea (//Bougainvillea specabilis//), and Dorian (//Dorio zibethinus//). One type of horsetail is bamboo (//Bambusa tulda//). One type of gymnosperm found in the tropical rainforest is Parana pine tree (//Aracaria angustifolia//).

The **animal** kindom consists of many different kinds of animals. Some birds are; the blue fairy flycatcher (//Erannornis longicauda//), the Collared sunbird //(Anthreptes collaris),// the Yellow-casqued horbill (//Ceratogymna elata//),the toucan (Ramphastos swainsonii), and the African gray parrot (//Psittacus erithacus//). There are also different kinds of mammals, some are the golden cat (//Felis aurata//), Chimpanzee (//Pan troglodytes//), Four-striped squirrel (//Funisciurus// //lemniscatus//), Golden potto (//Arctocebus calabarensis//), Leopard (//Panthera pardus//), the Chequered elephant-shrew (//Rhynchocyon cirnei//), Orangutan (//Pongo pygmeaus//), and the Okapi (//Okapia johnstoni//). The Birdwing butterfly (//Omithoptera priamus//), the Zodiac moth (//Alcides zodiacu//), the Club horned grasshopper (//Aeoloplides turnbulli//), and wood ants (//Formica rufa//) are few of the many arthropods in the tropical rainforest.Some segmented worms include the red segmented worm and earth worm.There are many reptiles in the tropical rainforest. Some of them are the python (//Morelia// //spilota//), the Green tree snake (//Dendrelaphis punctulata//), and the python (//Python regiu//s).One amphibian in the tropical rainforest is the red-eyed tree frog (//Agalychnis callidryas)//.
