3. Welcome to Beautiful Bali
Bali is a beautiful island with a tropical deciduous
forest climate, also known as a rainforest. It has
dense jungles with warm wet weather.
The temperature stays around 80 degrees Fahrenheit
for the whole year. Rainfall is heavy, with about 100
centimeters of annual rainfall. The apex predator of
Bali is the Komodo dragon, a fearless predator much
like the honey badger.

several different species of orchid can be found here.
The wattled brush turkey, molluccan scrubfowl, and
southern cassowary are herbivores that eat the
lucious plants of the island.
The orangutan, common spotted cuscus, and Asian
elephant are also herbivores that eat fruits and other
plants from the jungle.
6. Natural Wildlife
The malaria virus has been found on Bali. The
parasite has a symbiotic relationship with the host.
The Sumatran tiger and the Komodo dragon are both
endangered species in Bali. Their habitats have been
threatened by humans and their numbers have been
declining rapidly.
The komodo dragon’s niche is to be the apex
predator and consume the final energy in the
environment. The Asian elephant’s niche is to clear
dense forest and allow regrowth.
7. Human Impact
Unfortunately, humans have caused massive
deforestation on Bali. Much of the precious rain
forest has been destroyed, but that does not mean
Bali is any less beautiful. Many people still love to
visit the island regualarly.
8. Fun on Bali!
Bali has beautiful beaches that you can visit.
There is also kayaking and ziplining through the
jungle.
Thousands of people come to this island every year
for the countless activities.
You should consider packing short sleeves with
bathing suits in order to enjoy our island!
9. Warning
In addition to the high adventures and wild thrills of
Bali, tourists have reported dangers such as racing
heart, increased adrenaline, need to try new things,
increased risk taking, desire to perform stunts,
dislike of home, and increased chance of having the
time of their lives.
