In Central American rainforests, rival strawberry poison dart frogs might wrestle for up to 20 minutes. 3. It can take ten minutes for a falling raindrop to travel from a rainforest's thick canopy to the floor. 4. More than half of mainland Belize is covered in rainforests. 5. Numerous ancient lost cities can be found in the Belizean rainforest. 6. Rainforests get at least 250cm of rain a year. Sometimes it's almost double that at 450cm. 7. Latin American forests are home to black howler monkeys, whose calls can be heard almost 5km away. 8. Veiled stinkhorn mushrooms (found in tropical rainforests), smell like rotting food! 9. A quarter of ingredients in modern medicines come from rainforest plants. 10. Living in Central American rainforests, a sloth can carry algae, bettles and cockroaches in its fur!
