Biome Project- Temperate Rainforest
By: Megan Toper
Temperate Rainforest Location
Temperate Rainforest Climate
Temperate rainforests have two seasons. One is long and wet and the other one is short and dry. The weather is always cool even in the dry season because the fog supplies enough moisture to sustain the rainforest. The average temperature is 50 degrees F.
They get about 30 to 60 inches of rain per year.
Six animals that live in the temperate rainforest
Mountain lion
An interesting fact about a mountain lion is that nearly half of america has seen a mountain lion.
Racoon
Bison
Gray wolf
Roosevelt elk
Pacific Tree Frog
Four Plants that live in the Temperate Rainforest
