Rainforests are located in tropical areas around the world where the weather is hot and damp around 25 degrees. The document discusses rainforest animals, plants, and weather conditions. It also provides information about a butterfly garden exhibit that allows visitors to view hundreds of butterfly species like the tawny owl and monarch emerging from pupae during daily butterfly releases. The butterflies come from Central and South American butterfly farms that help preserve habitats while providing income to local families.
6. BUTTERFLY INFO
Travel to a tropical paradise inside the Aquarium’s
Butterfly Garden. You’ll be surrounded by hundreds
of strikingly beautiful butterflies such as the tawny
owl, Atlas moth and monarch. View butterflies
emerging from pupae and observe daily butterfly
releases. These winged jewels come to the Aquarium
primarily from Central and South America where
butterfly farmers raise pupae for aquariums,
botanical gardens and zoos around the world.
Butterfly farms not only provide income for these
families, they are preserving vital habitat which might
otherwise be clear-cut for other agricultural
purposes.
