The Forest Floor

• The forest floor receives the least amount of
  sunlight, so not many things are not able to live
  there. Some of the animals that live on the
  forest floor are gorillas, jaguars, and
  millipedes.

The Forest Floor

• The forest floor is also covered with dead plants
  and vegetation. The animals that live there use
  the dead plants as food, along with other
  animals.

The Herb Layer

• The herb layer does also not receive a lot of
  sunlight. Wildflowers, ferns, and grasses grow
  here. The vegetation is very thick in the herb
  layer. Some of the animals that inhabit this
  layer are turtles, mice, insects, and some birds.

  are snakes, sloths, monkeys, and insects. Some
  predators live in this layer of the rain forest.

  layer to find food.

The Understory

• The understory layer is the fourth layer of the
  rain forest. This layer has so many leaves and
  vines that many animals cannot get through. Some
  of the creatures that live here are butterflies,
  monkeys, and insects. The understory has the most
  number of insects out of all the layers.

The Canopy

• The canopy is the fifth layer in the rain forest.
  The canopy is located 80-150 feet above the
  ground. This is where all of the sunlight is
  absorbed so it cant reach the forest floor.

The Canopy

• There are a lot of flowers and fruits in this
  layer. The vines that Tarzan swings on grow here,
  and they are called Lianas. Many animals live in
  this layer some of them are toucans, monkeys,
  and tree frogs.

The Emergent Layer

• The emergent layer is the sixth layer, which is
  at the top of the rain forest. It is around 200
  feet above the forest floor. The trees in this
  layer have to be able to handle strong winds.
  Some of them even have seeds that are able to be
  moved by the wind. Some animals that live in this
  layer are bats and eagles.
