Aheahe Rainforest What climate would it have? The average temperature is 77 degrees F 82 degrees F (22 degrees C 28 degrees C) There is about 60 200 inches of rain a year 7 12 inches of fog. Are located in Southwest Asia, the Pacific Islands, and West Africa. Has long wet winters and a short drier summers. What type of biome is it? Tropical Rainforest What plants would there be? Mahogany Is a kind of wood the straightgrained, reddishbrown timber Ebony Is a dense black wood is dense enough to sink in water Rosewood Is reddish often brownish with darker veining but found in many different hues Balsa Trees It is a large fastgrowing tree that can grow up to 30 m tall Balsa wood is a very lightweight material with many uses Kinds of insects. Rhinoceros Beetle The males develop long, hornlike mouthparts which are used in jousting matches between rivals competing for a female. The size of the 'horns' depends entirely, on how well the beetle feed, in dead wood or compost, during its larval stage. (see variations, right ) The appearance of these beetles, along with a loud hissing sound they produce when stressed, seems to act as an effective deterrent against many predators. Huntsman Spider They are often large spiders that are usually quite flattened in appearance, with long, laterally pointed legs. Their long legs give some of the larger specimens a total span of 16 centimetres Their legs can also bend forward, which enables them to scurry sideways in a crablike motion. These appearances and behaviours are generally an adaptation to their life underneath the bark of trees. The fact that they do not use webs, and that they may chase down their prey, gives them their most commonly used name of “Huntsman”. However they most probably use a ‘sit and wait’ hunting strategy, placing themselves on tree trunks near busy paths and preying on the passing traffic. The Huntsman family can potentially be found all around the world, but seem much more common in the tropics. Some have adapted to living with humans quite well, and thus Huntsman's can often be seen on the walls inside toilets and lodges and other outside buildings. Despite their size and speed, most Huntsmen are harmless; only the “Badge spiders”, Olios spp. are considered a little dangerous. Paper Wasp This paper wasp species have nests formed of a single horizontal comb of hexagonal shaped paperlike cells attached to the support above by a short stalk. Worker members of the social colony line the outer edge of the comb in a defence posture to guard their nest against predators. The milky white eggs, which can be seen suspended within the cells, develop into paper wasp larvae. Workers feed these grubs on chewed up caterpillars of other insects and, when fully fed, the larvae spin a silken cocoon about themselves in which they develop into adult colony members. Peppermint Stick Insect This gorgeous animal is found only on Pandanus plants in coastal swamp and forest.They can often be detected by the chewed leaves of the Pandanus plants on which they feed, and the large amount of insect poo (‘frass’) they leave. They are usually slender animals that can be different shades of green, to almost blue. Their common name derives from the fact that they smell of peppermint when disturbed, but don't lean in too close to smell them, or they may squirt you in the eye. What kinds of animal or creatures would be within it? Lemur Are mostly grey with white underparts Has a fox like muzzle Has a slender frame A narrow face that is white with black patches around their eyes Has a long bushy tail with twenty six black and white rings Their tails are longer than their body and always start with a white ring and ends with a black ring Has padded, soft, leathery skin on its palms and soles Their eyes a bright yellow or orange They have one claw named ‘toilet claw’ They have slender fingers with flat human like nails Tree Frogs Although they’re called tree frogs, they don't all live in trees The name really refers to the frogs’ ability to climb trees, thanks to their long legs, toe pads and clawshaped bones at the end of their toes A clawshaped bone at the end of its toes helps the tree frog grip tree trunks and branches Toe pads also help the frog scale trees Body color plays an important part in the tree frog’s survival because it allows the frog to blend in with its surroundings or scare away predators. Sloths Are omnivores Are brown, tan, grey, white Their favorite food is leaves They live in tall trees Their main prey is leaves, bugs, and fruit Predators are eagles, snakes, and jaguars They have a flat face with long sharp claws They are endangered they live for 25 40 years They weigh 4.5 6 kg (10 13 pounds) They are 50 70 centimeters long (20 28 inches) Jaguars Are carnivores Are tan, yellow, brown, white, black Their top speed is 80 km (50 mile per an hour) They weigh 79 350 pounds Their prey is deer, sloths, capybara, tapir, armadillos, peccaries, squirrels, birds and even snails. Predator is human s Golden Lion Tamarin The golden lion tamarins long, silky fur, particularly at the shoulders, gives it a lionlike mane. Tamarins are some of the smallest members of the primate family. They are only 8 to 14 inches (2036 cm) long (not including tail) and weigh less than 2 pounds (900 g) There are as many as 400 golden lion tamarins left in the wild. Poison Dart Frog They are relatively small and usually grow to be just one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) long Depending on the species, they can be yellow, copper, gold, red, blue, green, black or a combination of those colors. Their showy colors and startling designs help warn predators of the danger they impose Within their skin, they store natural venom that can paralyze, or even kill, a predator. Poison dart frogs are insectivores, preferring to eat ants and other small insects that they can hunt among the leaf litter of the forest floor. poison dart frogs have only one natural predator the Leimadophis epinephelus, a species of snake that has developed a resistance to their venom.
