The only species of hummingbird that breeds in eastern North America, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is found throughout the eastern deciduous and mixed forests. It flies nonstop across the Gulf of Mexico to winter in Central America.\n\nDescription\nTiny bird. \nBack iridescent green. \nHovers at flowers. \nMale with brilliant iridescent red throat.\n\nSize: 7-9 cm (3-4 in) \nWingspan: 8-11 cm (3-4 in) \nWeight: 2-6 g (0.07-0.21 ounces) \nSex Differences\nMale with red throat, female with white. Female with white tips to tail feathers. Female larger.\n\nThe Ruby-throated Hummingbird beats its wings 53 times a second.\n\nThe extremely short legs of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird prevent it from walking or hopping. The best it can do is shuffle along a perch. Nevertheless, it scratches its head and neck by raising its foot up and over its wing.\n\nThe Ruby-throated Hummingbird does not show a strong preference for any particular color of feeder. Instead, it prefers specific feeder locations.\n\nRuby-throated hummingbirds are the smallest birds in northeastern North America. They are about three and a half inches in length and weigh about one tenth of an ounce—less than a penny weighs. Their long needle-like bill and buzzing flight make them easy to identify. \n\nThese tiny birds are a metallic green above and grayish or brownish white below. The color of the rubythroats’ feathers is due, not to pigment, but to crystalline structures that refract sunlight. Adult males have a bright red throat and a forked tail. Immature males do not have ruby throats. Females have blunt tails with white tips on the outer tail feathers. Females and juvenile males look very similar.\n\nWhen you see a rubythroat in flight, the wings are usually a blur of movement. During regular flight, female rubythroats beat their wings about 53 times per second and males beat their wings about 70 times per second. Compare this to 4.3 for the European starling and 4.9 for the American goldfinch.\n\nRubythroats can fly in any direction: they are the only birds that can fly backwards! The number of wing beats varies depending on the maneuver: forward, backward, up, down or hover. During some display behaviors, rubythroats may beat their wings up to 200 times per second. Their wings can move in any direction because a hummingbird’s wing has no movable joints except the one at the shoulder. Other birds have several movable joints in their wings.

They live in tropical rainforests between elevations of 100-2300 feet.

I would assume that you're speaking of an Amazonian frog in the rainforests of South America. Although, currently hermaphroditic frogs have been linked with pesticide usage. My suggestion would be to search some website like National Geographic or a university's zoology department. \n\nHave fun searching, and you could always borrow the dvd off someone.

Maria, \n\nBirds are bipedal, warm-blooded, oviparous vertebrates characterized primarily by feathers, forelimbs modified as wings, and hollow bones. I will attach some links to follow for your question as it is a very detailed one.

(m)\n\nThe Amazon is the greatest river in the world by so many measures; the volume of water it carries to the sea (approximately 20% of all the freshwater discharge into the oceans), the area of land that drains into it, and its length and width. It is one of the longest rivers in the world and, depending upon who you talk to, is anywhere between 6,259km/3,903mi and 6,712km/4,195mi long. \n\nFor the last century the length of the Amazon and the Nile Rivers have been in a tight battle for title of world's longest river. The exact length of the two rivers varies over time and reputable sources disagree as to their actual length. The Nile River in Africa is reported to be anywhere from at 5,499km/3,437mi to 6,690km/4,180mi long. But there is no question as to which of the two great rivers carries the greater volume of water - the Amazon River. \n\nAt its widest point the Amazon River can be 11km/6.8 mi wide during the dry season. The area covered by the Amazon River and its tributaries more than triples over the course of a year. In an average dry season 110,000 square km of land are water-covered, while in the wet season the flooded area of the Amazon Basin rises to 350,000 square km. When the flood plains and the Amazon River Basin flood during the rainy season the Amazon River can be up to 40km/24.8 mi wide. Where the Amazon opens at its estuary the river is over 325km/202 mi wide!

The 'Dibon' or 'Dibbon' is the Abyssinian Ground-hornbill [Latin: Bucorvus abyssinicus] (also known as Northern Ground-hornbill). It lives in the Northern tributaries of the River Niger in Guinea and the Sahel of Sub-Saharan Africa.\n\nThe dibon pairs for life, and the pairs of birds spend the night sleeping in separate trees and early in the morning call to each other. The local people have found the calls of the dibon so complelling that supposedly up to 40% of the rhythms played in the local traditions in the range of the dibon are based on these calls.

rainforests contain a large portion of flora and fauna species. Some have yet to be discovered. Think of rainforests as the most biodiverse areas of the world. Now consider that 95% of our medicines are derived from plants, and you can see that rainforests are essential to a biodiverse planet such as  earth. Also, there are some people still living in rainforests, so it would be natural for them to place importance on their food, shelter and way of life.
