Is every forest in the tropics a rainforest? Absolutely not! There is a unique type of ecosystem called a tropical dry forest, where a rainy season is followed by a dry season. Come along and travel the world with Pizotito, a coati from Costa Rica, as he searches the world for tropical dry forests. On this journey, you will be introduced to a number of different animal friends who make the tropical dry forest their home. After your travels, you will have a better understanding of the plants, animals, and ecological processes that connect the web of life in a tropical dry forest.
