Tropical rainforests are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth, home to a vast array of rich plant and animal species. Here are some animals commonly found in tropical rainforests:

Mammals: Including monkeys (such as monkeys, marmosets, gibbons, etc.), carnivores (such as leopards, jaguars, tigers, jaguars, etc.), herbivores (such as elephants, rhinos, etc.), insectivores (such as Anteaters), marsupials (such as kangaroos, wombats), etc.

Birds: For example, parrots, ostriches, falcons, hummingbirds, eagles, grebes, etc.

Reptiles: For example, snakes (such as pythons, cobras, rattlesnakes, etc.), lizards (such as iguanas, chameleons, etc.), crocodiles (such as alligators), turtles, etc.

Amphibians: including frogs, toads, etc.

Insects: Tropical rainforests are rich in insect species, including butterflies, beetles, ants, dragonflies, bees, etc.

Other small animals: including spiders, scorpions, honey badgers, beavers, etc.

It is important to note that tropical rainforest ecosystems contain an enormous number of plants and animals, many of which have yet to be discovered or described. At the same time, biodiversity in tropical rainforests remains one of the research priorities of the scientific community due to the rich ecological niches and potential food chain relationships.
