Oko ekvatora, gdje ove dvije osnovice života, sunce i vlaga su najobilniji, rastu velike šume, i ovdje se biljke i životinje množe u tolikom broju da još uvijek nismo imenovali sve vrste.
Around the equator, where those two essentials for life, sunshine and moisture, are most abundant, great forests grow, and here plants and animals proliferate in such numbers that we still have not even named all the different species.
