Because of its size, Asia involves practically all climatic zones, i.e. from tundra and taiga through the temperate zone to subtropical and tropical regions. The major part of this continent show the character of arid, deforested territories and only in the most humid regions of Eastern Asia there are broad-leaved forests with numerous species of plants. The south-east part of Asia, i.e. the so-called Indo-Malaysian region, is situated in the zone of rainfall virgin forest. From this part of the world, numerous species of predators, ungulates, parrots and other groups of birds are kept in capture.
