WOW!
Cloud forest
The canopy of this forest is
cloaked in fog. It is a very hot
place and this makes water vapor
escape from the leaves, creating
clouds. The clouds then make
rain, which falls on the plants
below and helps them grow.
Maquipucuna Reserve, Ecuador
Painted forest
The bark of these trees peels
off at different times of the
year. Each layer is a different
color, so each peel reveals a
new color. Red, green, and
blue layers give a rainbow
effect and make the forest
look like a work of art.
Rainbow eucalyptus trees, Hawaii
Ancient forest
The oldest tree in this ancient
forest is thought to be 5,066
years old—that’s even older
than the pyramids of Egypt.
The tree’s exact location is
kept secret so that people
don’t damage it.
