The bromiliad plays an important role in the rainforest. They give shelter and protect small animals(even monkeys),their cupped leaves store rainwater that gives animals water witch gives liverwarts and algee a place to live (witch can be homes for frog babies), and it gives all this stuff to animals who live in the trees where it's hard to get this stuff.

rain forest world records

The rain forest is amazing. Here are some world records.

Smelliest bird:

This record was broken in the Columbia rain forest instead of the Amazon. This bird's smell comes from a strange diet and its unique digestive system.

[this is not the heaviest anaconda. just an average sized anaconda.]

The heaviest snake:

The average sized anaconda is 18-20 feet long. This female anaconda was 27 feet long and 9 inches and was estimated to weigh 500. Now that's heavy!

Largest tropical rain forest:

The Amazon with 2.5 million miles squared.

I hope you enjoyed the rain forest records.
