Tropical rainforests contain diverse vegetation including exotic flowers and medicinal plants. They are home to a wide variety of animal life such as toucans, parrots, jaguars, elephants, gorillas, chimpanzees, iguanas, alligators, snakes like anacondas, as well as other animals including piranhas, turtles, butterflies, bats, frogs, and capybaras. Indigenous people live in the rainforest near the Amazon River and its waterfalls.
