40% of Earth’s oxygen and that’s because there are so many trees and plants in the tropical rainforest that carbon dioxide can easily turn into oxygen.
● Did you know that most plants in the rainforest grow on the trunks of trees because.Light can get to the plants easier than on the forest floor.
● Did you know the rainbow lizard is also called the agama lizard, it is one of the brightest collared lizard in the tropical rainforest. The collard depends on the gender, females are brown or green. Males have a blue body or a red and yellow head.
