Tropical rainforests are located around the equator the temperature around the equator is high. Hence the rate of water evaporation is high. As a result there is frequent rain in rainforests. They are found in south and Central America, Africa in the islands around Australia and Asia. The rainforests are important to human existence and surroundings. Rainforests are a rich source of medicinal plaints, food and useful forest products. They maintain about 50% of the plant, animal, bird, reptile and insect species of the world. These forests help to maintain a regular rainfall. They also stand as a buffer against floods, droughts and erosion. These forests produce a significant amount of the world’s oxygen.

The staple food of Sri Lankan is rice. There fore paddy is cultivated during yala and maha season. Farmers have to work very hard to get a good harvest.
First water is dive red in to the field to soak in well. After that the field is filled and ploughed. Long a go buffaloes were used for this purpose but today more people use tractors. Because it is quicker and cheaper after the field is ploughed rides are made seed paddy is put in to the sacks and soak them from the water. After that it is sown in the field some times the seed is sown in a nursery and then plant in the field. The farmers be live it gave a good harvest. During the season it is looked after very carefully weedicides and insecticides are sprayed the field has to be
Manure too.
After some time sheaves of paddy appear. Then the field has to be protected from birds. So a scare crow is put in the middle of the field to frighten the farmers the birds. After some time the farmers ripens and it is the time to get harvest season. The farmer comes to the field with his friends and relations to hares it they harvest the paddy with sickles.
The men keep sheaves on the ridges and the women take them to the threshing floor. This is the opened space. It is cleaned and prepared for threshing the paddy is heaped in the threshing floor and it is threshed by a machine. Long a go this was done by using buffaloes after the paddy is threshed it has to be winnowed to remove the chaff from the grain. Then it is measured put it in to sacks and taken home the straw is bundled and sold but it doesn’t happen very often we can see straw thatched house this is how paddy is cultivated in sir lanka.

The lion is the strongest of the big cat family. Ages ago, lions lived,
in places like Europe and the Middle East but thousands of them were hunted
down and today lions can only be found in Africa and India.
Lions live in small groups called prides and rather than dense forest,
they prefer to live in open grasslands and savannahs. For food, they hunt animals
like deer, somber and Zebras. Lions are skilled hunters and as they have very big
appetites, they tend to walk over 8km a day in search of prey.
The male is much bigger than the female which is known as a lioness.
The male develops a ring of bushy hair around his head and neck. This is called a mane.
Lionesses produce 2-3 cubs at a time and are keener on hunting than the males.
These majestic cats live up to about 20-25 years.
