The genus for E. coli is Escherichia. The species is E. coli. E. coli infects many people and animals. Yet still it only attacks warm blooded animals. It is usually actually harmless. Only sometimes will it cause food poisoning, as an act of parsitism. They can als benefit the hosts by producin vitamen K2 in their gut or by preventing the establishment of pathogenic bacteria in the lower intestine.

The Tropical Rainforest is home to over 50% of all the animals in the world. One kind of animal that lives in the Tropical Rainforest is the Gorilla. Gorilla's live mostly in Zaire, and are very large. They can be up to 5'6" tall and weigh 600 pounds, with an arm span of 9 feet. Gorilla's have coarse black hair. Even though they are very gentle animals their scary appearance makes them disliked, so they are portrayed as large (true), scary (false), and cruel (false). The genus for Gorilla is Gorilla. The species is gorilla or benegal.

One of the tropical rain forest funigi is Bracket Fungi. Bracket fungi spreds diseases throughout the plants which the animals eat. When the animals eat the plant the disease spreads through them, usually with a fatal reply. So through the disease, Backet Fungi inderectly killed that animal. The Bracket Fungi's disease will also kil the plant it infects. The genus is Ganoderma.

Eucalyptus Trees are fatally diseased to most animals of the Tropical rainforest other than the animals with a stronger digestive system. Their leaves, which contain the diseased juice, usually exist high up in the trees. The genus for Eucalyptus Trees is actually Eucalyptus!

The kingdom Protista has very few members that are explicit and live in the tropical rainforest. Although they are scarce, I still found a plant-like protist called Protophyta.Protophyta has no common name, so I call it by its genus:Protophyta. These protist exist near the rivers and waterfalls of the tropical rainforest.
