The jungle gives way to the semi-deciduous woodland of the core region, where a lot of plant types dropped their fallen leaves during the course of the dry out period. North of the semi-deciduous rainforest, the plant life is made up of wooded savanna with scattered trees 10 to 60 feets (3 to 18 metres) high. The density of trees lessens toward the Chad basin, where they are actually thin as well as mainly of Acacia varieties.
The exotic rain forest at altitudes in between 4,000 and also 8,000 feets (1,200 as well as 2,400 metres) varies from that of the valleys: the plants are actually smaller, are actually of various types, and are actually festooned with mosses, lichens, as well as other epiphytes. Over the rainforest area are actually drier timberlands, tall grasslands, or even patches of mountain bamboo. Above concerning 7,800 feets (2,400 metres) in the inside and above regarding 10,000 feet (3,000 metres) on Mount Cameroon, brief grasses prevail.
The country’s dense woods are actually lived in by shouting reddish and fresh monkeys, chimpanzees, as well as mandrills, in addition to rodents, baseball bats, and also various birds– from very small sunbirds to giant war hawks as well as bald eagles.
