Introduction Have
you ever heard of the aye-aye? Or the
okapi? There are so many fascinating
animals in tropical rainforests that
millions haven't been named or even
identified yet. In fact, about half of all
the world's species live in tropical
rainforests.

using an AppleWorks
SlideShow
template to show all the things you have
learned about your Rainforest
animal.
