. === ** South American temperate rainforests are found in the southern part of the continent, in countries like eastern Chile and western Argentina. Those forests contain animals like Copihue, Maqui, Kodkod, Southern Pudú, Monito del Monte, and many hummingbirds. ** ===
 * Temperate rain forests are coniferous or broadleaf forests that occur in the mid-latitudes in areas of high rainfall. Most of these occur in Oceanic-Moist Climates in Western North America (Southeastern Alaska to Central California), Western Europe (Southern Norway to Northern Spain), Southwestern South America (Southern Chile), Southeastern Australia (Tasmania/Victoria), and Western New Zealand (South Island's west coast) **


 * Temperate rainforests are not quite as species rich as are tropical rainforests, and the plants of those rainforests are mainly trees. There are no vines, lianas or palm trees. There are many epiphytes, including a wide variety of mosses and lichens. At least 70% of temperate rainforest is closed by tree canopy. Those forests don’t need fire, the seeds on plants are able to regenerate without fire disturbance. Eucalypt forests are not rainforests, but in absence of fire eucalypt forests may develop to rainforests. There are three types of non-tropical rainforests in Australia: Warm-temperate, cool-temperate, and subtropical. **
