For all their isolation, the tops of tepuis are not barren. |
The researchers focused on tiny tree frogs that live only atop the tepuis. |
The tepuis constitute a unique biogeological entity and are of great geological interest. |
Some intrepid scientists scaled the tepuis to learn how they formed. |
Common habitats include bogs, fens, swamps, marshes, the tepuis of Venezuela, the wallums of coastal Australia, the fynbos of South Africa, and moist streambanks. |
Though KNP includes several outlier tepuis of Roraima sandstone, these are minor in extent compared with those of Canaima and are therefore represent lower levels of biodiversity. |
