The main characteristics of a tropical rainforest include dense vegetation, high humidity, and abundant rainfall. Trees in the forest can reach heights of up to 50 meters or more, with many species growing together forming a canopy that blocks out much of the sunlight. There is also typically a wide variety of plant life, including vines, shrubs, epiphytes (plants that grow on other plants), and ground cover. Animals living in the rainforest include birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and insects.
