Answer & explanation:

The tropical rainforests are found in the regions near the equator line. They have high temperatures as well as high rainfall.

This is the biome that has the greatest diversity of species inhabiting it, such as jaguars, tapirs, monkeys, several birds and reptiles.

It also has a flora composed of medium-sized trees and epiphyte plants such as bromeliads, orchids and begonias.

Temperate forests are found in regions a climate of the same name, being present in Europe and North America.

These have four well-defined seasons (with generally moderate climates).

It has a fauna made up of animals like squirrels, wild boars or even big cats like lions.

In its flora predominate oaks and maples, with some shrubs and herbaceous plants.
