                    Tropical rainforests contain the most varied mixtures of animals and plants of any habitat on the Earth. They contain large and small predators and a bewildering variety of birds. All these animals are supported by huge numbers of trees that produce fruit to feed them and their prey all year round. Because there is no true winter in tropical rainforests, there is no need for the cycle of eating and storing food that takes place in cooler climates.
