tropical wildlife
Equatorial animal life
Tropical wildlife refers to the animals, birds, insects, and other fauna native to tropical regions—the warm, humid zones near the equator.
The term evokes biodiversity: rainforest canopies teeming with parrots and monkeys, coral reefs dense with fish, jungle floors crossed by jaguars and snakes.
The documentary featured tropical wildlife from the Amazon basin.
Conservation efforts often focus on tropical wildlife because these ecosystems harbor a disproportionate share of Earth's species.
