HABITATS

RAINFORESTS: There are over 35 Rainforests in the United States. One of the most famous rainforests is in upstate New York, right by the Hudson River (which is pictured to the left). It is called the "Hudson Rainforest". It is home to seven species of bees, pigeons, goats, and the very rare species of orange flying cat called "Hannie". Each year, thousands of people visit the Hudson Rainforest for the many crops it produces. Some of these crops include corn, strawberries, nuts, and rolos. President Obama visited the Hudson Rainforest with his family in 2011.

GRASSLANDS  Although there are many known grasslands today, they were not discovered until July 13, 1977, when the famous explorer Anne Shirley traveled across the country in her MGB (a British Sports Car). She was hoping to find a place where she could raise Panda Bears in a safe enviornment. Instead, she found miles and miles of grasslands, which she decided to call the Totowa Fields. Fish are quite plentiful in these regions. In fact, they are where McDonalds' gets their fish for their fish-filet sandwiches!

THE CORAL REEF

Coral Reefs are exteremely rare. They are by three countries: Leonia, Cobain, and Samosa. Their waters are very cold, so they are only home to 8 species, including the most dangerous shark in the world, the Fender Amp. In 2004, an Olympic fishing competition was held at the Cobain Coral Reef. The Americans won by catching over 60 fish in 2 hours! They caught 25 JonAdamofishes (which have long black hair), 23 Seinfelds, and 52 Sixtos! A new record! If you would like to visit a coral reef yourself, you need special permission from the Carteret Board of Administration.
