Introduction A rainforest is a tall dense jungle that is right around the equator. The one I am telling you about today is the Amazon Rainforest. It is the biggest one in the world. It has 1/3 of our earth’s plant and animals species. It is also our world’s leading fresh water source.
Harpy Eagle The Harpy Eagle is fierce, brown, and has a 6 foot wing span. Its habitat is the emergent layer. The eagle doesn’t have any natural predators it only dies of natural causes. The mother breeds twice every 3 years and each time she has a different mate. The prey of the Harpy Eagle is a sloth, monkey, opossums, and even porcupines. It is a omnivore. The eagle has a very sharp beak is large. This animal is indigenous to the rainforest.
The appearance of the King Cobra is fierce, vicious, and brown. It lives on the 2 bottom levels. The predators of the King Cobra are birds and a chimp when the king cobra is small. The King Cobra’s prey is anything that can fit in its mouth and Somethings that are a lot bigger.(it is a carnivore) The adaption that the King
Cobra has is the venom most deadliest in the world and their sharp teeth. They don’t have camouflage. They are a carnivore. They do not conserve there. They do not conserve there food. The king cobra is a living organism.
White Trillium The appearance of the white trillium is White, it has 3 leafs or foliage, it has a yellow middle, and is also black. The habitat of it is the floor level. It uses photosynthesis to breathe and also eat.
The trillium has no predators but is used to help sickness for humans. It
Coca The appearance of the coca plant is brown, round, black, stripes, & when it grows the nut grows on the ground. The habitat is the floor level. The coca plant has NO PREDATORS and is used by humans to help hunger and altitude sickness. It produces its own food.
The Amazon is located in South America. The lattititude of the rainforest is o0 and 150. My longitude is 450 and 800. Countries that the Amazon rainforest are Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Columbia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.HEI is deforestation the cutting down of trees, pollution by using cars and factorys, conservation they are not trying to conserve the rainforest. Place is Climate zone-warm & humid Average temp-79 f Average Rainfall- 80’’ Tribes Yanomami & the Huli live almost exactly the same.
Tribe 1 They lives in huts and on farms. They live in tribes of 40 to 350.There shelter is small huts. They hunt animals and plants. Their culture is like traditions food and all of that stuff. They wear very little clothing. They eat fish and meat. They take only the goods they need. They only use things in nature They move around in boats and they also walk.

Contionclusion It was non-fiction so it might not have been that interesting. But I know I did a good job on it. I didn’t do fiction because I couldn’t think of a problem. Everyday there are contractors cutting down (deforestation) trees. I and some people are trying to conserve it but there are not even close to enough people. I know people don’t know what they are doing when they are polluting the air by driving cars, letting chemicals out of factories and etc. But they also don’t know about there medicines that they get come from the rainforests. They just don’t even care about what they are doing. So can you help me start the fight against deforestation and pollution on the rainforest. The more people that we get can help conserve and protect our medicine oxygen and the most important our animals.
Can the earth live with only 80% of the worlds oxygen well people will die if we cut down the rainforest will u help me with the fight?
