Answer:
Layers of the Rainforest
Insects, bats, and birds are found living in the emergent layer. The canopy is the next layer, which is made up of trees between 100-150 feet. The canopy is home to lots of tree-dwelling plants and animals. In the canopy you will find spider monkeys, lemurs, sloths, parrots, and toucans.
Answer:
With warm temperatures, water and an abundance of food, tropical rain forests support thousands of wildlife species. The competition means organisms must adapt or develop specialized traits to compete for environmental resources. Many rain forest animals use adaptations to carve out their own niches and protect themselves from predators.
Explanation:
Being invisible to a predator or to prey is an advantage in the tropical rain forest. One animal – the sloth – combines expert cover with slow-motion movement to dodge predators such as the jaguar. A sloth's fur is covered with green algae so it blends with the environment. It is the world's slowest moving animal and takes up to a month to digest its food, so it doesn't need many resources to survive. The boa constrictor uses its camouflaged invisibility to sneak up on prey, while tiny rain forest grasshoppers have developed near-transparent coloring to blend in with leaves.
