Why did Australia wind up with a disproportionate amount of the earth's freakiest creatures?

lol Don't get me in trouble. I get myself into enough as it is.

Really? Aww. Join the group hug. I've told you I always have an extra hug for you. You just call me. *hugs*

"Latey?" No, I can't say that I have. lol I won't deny the rainforests have some, but I think Australia got more, which is odd, considering the size.

I will debate you on this as in NO WAY.  I don't think you know about how many creatures inhabit the Rainforest.


Around 40% to 75% of all biotic species are indigenous to the rainforests.[2] It has been estimated that there may be many millions of species of plants, insects and microorganisms still undiscovered in tropical rainforests. Tropical rainforests have been called the "jewels of the Earth" and the "world's largest pharmacy", because over one quarter of natural medicines have been discovered there.[3] Rainforests are also responsible for 28% of the world's oxygen turnover, sometimes misnamed oxygen production,[4] processing it through photosynthesis from carbon dioxide and consuming it through respiration.

The undergrowth in some areas of a rainforest can be restricted by poor penetration of sunlight to ground level. If the leaf canopy is destroyed or thinned, the ground beneath is soon colonized by a dense, tangled growth of vines, shrubs and small trees, called a jungle. The term jungle is also sometimes applied to tropical rainforests generally. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at December 22, 2016 4:14 PM MST

Lolz. Could be. Good one. :-)
