The rainforests provide homes for tribes, homes for animals, and places for plants and fruits. The rainforests are magnificently formed with tall trees reaching 50 plus feet above the ground. The rainforests are filled with more species of plants and animals than any other place on earth. Standing on the ground and looking up, all that a person can see are trees with limbs sticking all over the place. Echoing birds’ calls, surround the forest for miles and miles around. An abundance of plants life spreads throughout the whole forest floor. Fruits that can be eaten can be found up above or down below. Creatures roaming the forests’ floor and skies searching for food or just wandering about. Heavy rains plunger the forests each day, week, month, and years. “Outsiders who intrude into the rain forests can find them uncomfortable, cruel places” (Attenborough and Collins 1990).
