Physical Map of Bangladesh
The major portion of Bangladesh lies within the broad delta formed by the rivers Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers
and constantly suffers annual floods. The only significant area of hilly terrain, constituting less than one-tenth of the
country's territory, is the Chittagong Hill Tracts District in the narrow southeastern part of the country.
Climate of Bangladesh
Bangladesh is warm throughout the year, with relatively little variation from month to month. January tends to be the coolest
month and May, the warmest.
Flora And Fauna of Bangladesh
The flora of Bangladesh is made up of broadleaf evergreen vegetation in the hilly regions
and deciduous trees, such as acacia and banyan in the drier plains areas. Fruit trees are available in plenty, some of them
are even used for commercial purposes like the sundari mango grove, gewa, sal and garyan. Other famous fruit trees
are that of jackfruits, dates and palms and bamboos.
Fauns include 109 indigenous species of mammals, 295 types of
birds, 119 kinds of reptiles, 19 different amphibians, and 200 varieties of marine and freshwater fish. The rhesus monkey
is common, and gibbons and lemurs are also found. The Sundarbans area is one of the principal remaining domains of the endangered
Bengal tiger. Herds of elephants and many leopards inhabit the Chittagong Hill Tracts District. Other animals living in Bangladesh
include mongoose, jackal, Bengal fox, wild boar, parakeet, kingfisher, vulture, and swamp crocodile.
