The rain forest biodome is kept hot and humid with special lighting and atmospheric control systems. It has four levels designed to mimic different rain forest environments. A 100,000-gallon tank serves as home to Amazonian river dwellers. Stacked on top of it, and accessible via curving ramps, are biomes patterned on habitat in Borneo, Madagascar and Costa Rica.Photo: Annaliza Savage/Wired.com
