Bradley 12 Stacks of Facts

Hi everyone!!
I have found some more facts that I thought were yet again quite interesting. A few people might have one or two of them posted already but the blog is getting too big to look for them.

The trees of a tropical rainforest are so densely packed that rain falling on the canopy can take as long as 10 minutes to reach the ground.

A typical 10 square kilometre patch of rainforest contains as many as 1,500 flowering plants, 750 species of trees, 400 species of birds and 150 species of butterflies.

Rainforests are found on every continent across the Earth, except Antarctica

More than 20 percent of the world oxygen is produced in the Amazon Rainforest.

I got these facts from http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/Homework/Grainforest.htm

And this web site is also really good. It shows you some of the animal life in the rainforest at night. Go spot lighting at
