By Shannyn Selbie

Tropical rainforest

Mangrove Swamps

Mangroves are various trees and shrubs that grow in saline water in coastal sediments – mainly in the tropics and sub-tropics. They support many different types of wildlife including reptiles, fish, mammals and birds

Deserts

Deserts cover more than one fifth of the Earths land, and they are found on every continent. A place that receives less than 10 inches of rain per year is considered a desert. Deserts support many types of wildlife such as this Egyptian tortoise.
