Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gorillas typically live in the lowland tropical rainforests of Central Africa, although some subspecies are found in montane rainforest (between 1, 500 and 3, 500 meters) and in bamboo forest (between 2, 500 to 3, 000 meters).

Detailed explanation-2: -The abundance of trees and food make rainforests a great home for monkeys. Monkeys spend most of their time high up in the canopies of the trees where there is a lot of food. Just like you may see at the zoo, monkeys use their long arms and tails to swing from branch to branch.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome where it rains all year long. It is known for its dense canopies of vegetation that form three different layers. The top layer or canopy contains giant trees that grow to heights of 75 m (about 250 ft) or more.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tropical rainforests are mainly located between the latitudes of 23.5°N (the Tropic of Cancer) and 23.5°S (the Tropic of Capricorn)-the tropics. Tropical rainforests are found in Central and South America, western and central Africa, western India, Southeast Asia, the island of New Guinea, and Australia.
