Biomes are the world's major habitats. These habitats are identified by the vegetation and animals that populate them. The location of each biome is determined by the regional climate. Tropical rain forests are characterized by dense vegetation, seasonally warm temperatures, and abundant rainfall. The animals that dwell here depend on trees for housing and food.
Some examples are monkeys, bats, frogs, and insects.
Savannas are open grasslands with very few trees. There's not much rain, so the climate is mostly dry. Inhabitants include lions, elephants, zebras, and antelope. Deserts are typically dry areas that experience extremely small amounts of rainfall. They can be either cold or hot.
