IntroductionThe tropical rainforest is a beautiful biome with more different kinds of species than any other biome In the world. Because of the warm conditions, many different kinds of animals, small and large can thrive in these conditions. The climate is warm and has lots of moisture in the air. Some of the animals don’t even have to touch the ground their whole life because the plants and vegetation stay lush all year round. That makes it different from other biomes such as the temperate rainforest which changes throughout the year. There is also plenty of shade and all the vegetation all over the floor, providing fantastic places to hind, find prey, find predators and so much more. The marine environment is home to a lot of different aquatic species. One thing that brings people from all around the world to see is the dolphins and whales in the Caribbean. Humpback whales spend their entire summers in the ice warm waters of the tropical rain forests, where they mate, give birth, and feast on the marine life. Some of the animals in this biome are bats, monkeys, coqui frogs, angel fish, coral and sharks.

Queen angel fish get their name because of the way spots are arranged on their head like a crown. The queen angel fish is a common creature in the Caribbean. Usually they grow to 45 cm in size. They eat mostly sponges and algae, but can also eat sea fans, soft corals, and even jelly fish. These fish blend nicely in the coral, so they thrive in the coral reefs. The women can have 25000- 75000 babies at a time during reproduction. Sometimes the queen angel fishes can mate with their close relative the blue angel fish, creating a fishy hybrid.
