El Yunque Rainforest

Thursday, May 19, 2011


The tropical rainforest lies completely within the boundaries of the El Yunque National Forest. It's the only rainforest that belongs to the U.S. Forest Service. It consists of a small crescent shaped band that lies over the tops of the peaks of the forest, located near the eastern end of Puerto Rico. At the top of the rainforest lies a narrower band of the forest in which plant life is stunted due to a thinner layer of soil at higher elevations on the rocky mountain, as well as higher winds.This was fun but is it wrong of me to be in a rainforest and wish it wasn't raining?
