These regions get, plenty of rainfall, Because of continuous warmth and rain, this region supports wide, variety of plants and animals. The climatic conditions in rainforests are highly suitable, for supporting an enormous number and a variety of animals. That is why the tropical, rainforest has a large population of animals., , Question 8:, Explain, with examples, why we find animals of certain kind living in particular climatic, conditions., Answer 8:, Animals are adapted to the conditions in which they live. These adaptations are the just, because of long process of evolution. It would be difficult for them to survive if they are, moved to region having different climate conditions than from their habitat. Consider the, following examples:, > Apolar bear has thick layer of fat under their skin which acts heat insulator. It, protects the bear from extreme cold climate of polar region. The polar bear cannot, survive if itis moved to hot and dry desert region., > Monkeys have long tails for grasping branches adapted to live in tropical rain, forests. It cannot survive in Polar Regions., , Question 9:, How do elephant living in the tropical rainforest adapt itself?, , Answer 9:, Ithas adapted to the conditions of rainforests in many remarkable ways.
