Types of animals Red-shanked Douc Langur is part of the colobine monkey family, but

surprisingly is more closely related to proboscis monkeys than langurs. Its overall size is 61-76 cm, with males slightly larger than females. Males weigh approximately 7 kg, and females 5 kg. Their tails are about 56-76 cm long. Its habitat is in the lowland to montane primary and secondary rainforest where it lives in the mid to upper levels of the canopy.

Types of plants Durian trees grows in lowland rainforests, scientists think it is one of the

first plants to rely on animals to disperse its seed. It does this by bribing them with a nutritious and smelly food surrounding its seed.

Abiotic factors The tropical rain forest is a forest

of tall. Rainforests now cover less than 6% of Earth's land surface. Scientists estimate that more than half of all the world's plant and animal species live in tropical rain forests. In an average year in a tropical rain forest, the climate is very humid because of all the rainfall. The average temperatures is occasionally above 18 degrees Celsius
