Rainforest Layers

Rainforest Layers

A rainforest has 4 layers: Forest Floor, Canopy Understory and Emergent Layer. The Forest Floor is all mushy and were all the plants grow. Some animals like the Brazilian Tapiars only live on the Forest Floor. The Understory is the Second Layer and not much animals live in the Understory. The Canopy is were the fully grown trees are. Some trees are 30+ meters. Most animals inn the rainforest live in the Canopy like Two-toed Sloth and Black Spider- Monkeys. Last but not least the Emergent Layer. this is were the tallest trees are and not many animals live there.

These are some of the pictures of the rainforest layers
