Episode Information

Rainforest, the richest habitat on earth, teeming with millions of dramatic plants and animals, from giant landscape gardeners to a whole family supported by a single leaf. Without a doubt, rainforests are the last stronghold for some of the most astonishing animal families you will find.

Jungle lies between the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer, a tropical belt green stretching across South and Central America, Central Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia and Northern Australia. This lush paradise is all thanks to the two metres of rainfall rainforests receive each year, creating lush, humid vegetation.

The abundance and quality of food found in rainforests means they are one of the most diverse habitat ranges on the planet; from invertebrates and amphibians to birds and humans: there’s room for all forms of life under the great forest canopy.
