The vast array of sea life that the reef biome houses can stand a bit of chill but they cant tolerate it for long periods of time. Normal reef temperatures usually range from 17-34°c. The coral reef biome is one of the most important of all marine biomes. It is home to more than 25% of all known marine wildlife‚ even though it only covers o.o1% of the ocean floor.

Many plants and animals in the rainforest must adapt to survive the warm temperatures and a large amount of constant rainfall year around. Plants are important for the rain forest because they enable the survival of many other species. In fact‚ since plants must reach the sunlit areas they must adapt and wrap around trees in order to take nutrients and collect water when it rains. These plants also give rise to animals

Fauna of Asia is all the animals living in Asia and its surrounding seas and islands. Since there is no natural biogeographic boundary in the west between Europe and Asia‚ the term "fauna of Asia" is somewhat elusive. Asia is the eastern part of the Palearctic ecozone (which in turn is part of the Holarctic)‚ and its South-Eastern part belongs to the Indomalaya ecozone (previously called the Oriental region). Asia shows a notable diversity of habitats‚ with significant variations in rainfall‚ altitude
