Solution
They are found in a tropical monsoon climate. These areas have hot, wet summers with heavy rainfall and cool, dry winters. Tropical deciduous forests are also called monsoon forests. They have hardwood, broad-leaved trees, which shed their leaves in the dry season, usually in winter. Teak, Sal, shisham and mango are common tree species. These thrive in regions of heavy rainfall. Grasses and thorny bushes grow in drier regions. Elephants, rhinoceroses, bears, deer, apes, lion tiger, leopards, etc., are some of the wildlife species found here.
Such forests are found in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Southern China.
