Animals and their habitats in the tropical rainforest

The Emergent Layer- This is the tallest layer of the rainforest. It is home to many birds and insects.

The Canopy layer- This layer is one of the most important layers of a tropical rainforest. it is home to many insects birds, mammals, reptiles and more.

The Understory layer-mathematical layer below the trees but above the ground is a dark and cool area of a tropical rainforest that is home to many birds.

The Forrest floor- The floor of a tropical rainforest is very leafy and damp making it the perfect home for many insects. This is where the largest animals in a tropical rainforest live

Animals have adapted to their climate by changing their body fat depending on if it's hot or cold. They have also adapted to live in places where they are protected from the weather these include in the hollows of trees, leaf litter or in rotting logs on the Forrest floor.

It can also depend on what type of rainforest it is, if it rains a lot, plant and animals that like the rain would live there.

Rain forests that are located in the tropics or in ten degrees within the equator are the only rain forests with year round warm weather. Other than that, most ran forests have rain every day. There is no dry season and there is very little difference between the warmest and coolest months.

This type of climate is known as the equatorial climate.

The canopy trees can grow to over 100 metres tall

The trees compete which each other for light making them need to grow so tall

The topsoil tends to be thin

Leaves are thin to take in as much energy as possible

Because the weather is hot and wet, trees do not need thick bark to slow down moisture loss and have instead thin, smooth bark.

The layers of rainforest are connected by vines and ferns, and mosses grow on the trees. The vine Liana is a climbing vine that grows on rainforest trees, climbing into the canopy so its leaves get more sunlight.

The pants have developed a drip system so they do not drown themselves and so the  branches don't break from the weight from the high rainfall

Epiphytes climb onto other plants to use the nutrients and energy that the other plants produce

Temperature- The temperature in a tropical rainforest rarely gets higher than 34 degrees but rarely gets below 20 degrees.

The average humidity is between 77 and 88%

Rainfall is around 100 inches per year.

The average annual precipitation of a rainforest is greater than 150cm.

There are canopy trees which provide food for the animals that live in the rainforest.

Many of our normal everyday foods originated in the tropical rainforests, including tomatoes, peppers, corn, rice, coconut, banana, coffee, cocoa, cassava (tapioca), beans and sweet potatoes.

There are small shrubs on the lowest level of the rainforests  as they only get 3% of the sunlight they don't grow very big
