Can you imagine if summer could be all year long? That is what it is like in Malaysia. What do you think the environment is like if it is so hot every day?
Malaysia is special, and quite different from the U.S., because 60-70% of the country is a tropical rainforest. For this reason, it is also known to have many different kinds of plant and animal species. In fact, Malaysia has more than 15,500 types of plant species.
Malaysia also has a tropical rainforest climate, meaning it is hot and humid all year round. It is usually about 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
The environment in Malaysia is home to many different fruits and vegetables. Many Malaysians have their own fruit trees right next to their home. In addition, the country eats a lot of rice and fish because the bodies of water allow many people to grow rice and catch fish and the other types of seafood from the oceans and lakes.
