1. **Tropical Rainforest:** The tropical rainforest biome is characterized by high levels of rainfall and humidity, as well as consistently warm temperatures. There is a high diversity of plant and animal life in tropical rainforests, with numerous species of trees, plants, insects, birds, and mammals coexisting in this biome. Some iconic animals found in tropical rainforests include jaguars, sloths, and toucans. The dense vegetation in this biome provides a wide variety of habitats for creatures to thrive in.

2. **Desert:** Deserts are characterized by arid conditions, with very little precipitation and extreme temperature fluctuations between day and night. Despite the harsh environment, many plants and animals have adapted to survive in deserts. Common desert plants include cacti, succulents, and drought-resistant shrubs. Animals such as camels, snakes, and scorpions have evolved specialized adaptations to conserve water and thrive in the desert environment. The lack of vegetation cover exposes the bare ground to sunlight, which can lead to extreme temperatures during the day and a rapid cooling at night.
