Adaptation of Animals to Hot Tropical and Temperate Climate

Adaptation of Animals to Hot Tropical and Temperate Climates:

Tropical Climate :

Tropical climates are located between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Latitude is a determining factor in the existence of tropical climates. All wet tropical climates are near the equator between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn or latitudes ranging from 10^{circ} south: to:{25^{circ}} north.

It is hot and humid in the tropics and warm in the temperate regions. These animals have faster evaporation by active sweating, panting and licking as evaporation causes cooling.

Animals found in the tropics have long legs and tails. Many animals have large ears.Example: gorillas and colourful birds.

Plants found in tropics are palms, hibiscus,amaryllis, lily, freesia, gladiola, banana, bamboo etc.
