 * A) Rain Forest || Hot, moist, rains all year long, three different layers. Two types- tropical, temperate . || Vines, ferns, palms, trees, leaves, leaf litter, orchids || 30-50% of all Earth's animals || Campa Pita, Belize ||
 * B) Broadleaf /mixed broadleaf & coniferous || cold winters, hot & wet summers
 * C) Coniferous (Taiga) || Between tundra (north) and deciduous forest (south). Have well-defined seasons. || needle-leaf evergreen || moose, bear, dear, wolf, wolverine, bats, lynx, hare, vole, chipmunks. || United States ||
 * 2) Mediterranean woodland, shrub & grassland || Between 32°N and 40°S latitude on west coast; subtropical high pressure zone during the fall, summer, and spring; precipitation falls during winter; vegetation withstands drought and fire. || cork oak, olive, eucalyptus, arbutus, acacia, maritime pine, shrub oak, live oak || small / nocturnal animals || California; Italy ||
 * 3) Tropical Savanna, mixed grassland & woodland || Home to number of predator species; soils more nutrient rich thank tropical soils; grasslands with scattered drought-resistant trees. || drought-resistant trees, grass. || giraffe, lions, || Australia Africa? ||
 * 4) Prairie & steppe grassland || Temperature depends on latitude; hot and dry summer, cool and moist winter; found surrounding desert and grassland; rain is unpredictable. || Flowering herbs, grasses, oats, wheat, barley, coneflower. || prairie dogs, jack rabbits, ground squirrels, and gophers.
 * 5) Desert shrub || 10% of rainfall that rain forest receives; temperature varies depending on location; some plants only last during small periods of rain. || Cacti, sagebrush, Creosote Bu sh, small brushes, small grass || Lizards, snakes, few mammals || Mojave ||
 * 6)Tundra (Alpine)- || Coldest of all biomes; similar to desert with low precipitation; precipitation lower than some deserts; permanent frozen ground below surface(permafrost) || Mosses, sedges, and lichens. || Caribou, musk ox, hare, voles, lemmings.
