Default Rainforest Trees

Here are some fantastic facts about the trees of rainforests:

Did you know that giant bamboo plants can grow up to 9 inches per day - I guess can be even noticed by the naked eye.

Tropical rainforest trees are so densely packed that rain falling on the canopy can take more than 10 minutes to hit the ground.

80% of the flowers in the Australian rainforests are not found anywhere else in the world.

Wow, that is very interesting! I love learning about the natural world. I'd heard about the rain but I had no idea bamboo grew so quickly.

Yes it is interesting. Fascinating, to be exact. Rainforests are one of the most important things that we need to protect if we want to preserve wild life on this planet.

How is that possible for Australian rainforests?! I mean, I don't doubt that it's true but this is an amazing fact! Just think about it, right there's our next goal - protecting that treasure!
