Tayla 2

Here are some interesting facts I found today.
  • An area of a rainforest the size of a football field is being destroyed each second
  • Giant bamboo plants can grow up to 9 inches a day
  • The trees of a tropical rainforest are so close together that rain can take up to 10 minutes to fall from the canopy to the ground
  • In the rainforest's of South America it is so moist that because sloths move so slowly algae can grow on their fur....yuk!
