What are tropical rainforest? Name some of the Adaptations which help the animals live
and survive in tropical rainforests.
Answers
Tropical rainforests are rainforests that occur in areas of tropical rainforest climate in which there is no dry season – all months have an average precipitation of at least 60 mm – and may also be referred to as lowland equatorial evergreen rainforest.
Some of the adaptations in animals living in tropical rainforests are:
1) A skin colour which helps them to camouflage (mix up with the surroundings and hide) in order to catch prey or protect themselves from predators.
2) Running very fast.
3) Development of trunk, tusks, and large ears and feet.
Answer:
Many animals have adapted to the unique conditions of the tropical rainforests. The sloth uses camouflage and moves very slowly to make it difficult for predators to spot. The spider monkey has long, strong limbs to help it to climb through the rainforest trees.
