The variety of rainforest animals

Most of the world’s rainforests are located in Central and South America, West and Central Africa, and Southeast Asia. They are very wet areas near the equator that give true meaning to the expression “world of abundance”, an expression that reflects on the variety of rainforest animals. Humans must share the earth with all plants and animals; otherwise our carelessness will result in the continued extinction of many species. It would be a sad world indeed without the beauty of a toucan or the grace and power of the jaguar.
Amazonia has 427 species of mammals, 1294 species of birds, 378 of reptiles, 427 amphibians, and 3,000 fish. However, the majority of mammals are rodents and bats.
