The rainforest layers

Image result for the rain forest layers
The rainforest is made up of four different layers.
The first layer is the emergent layer the emergent
layer, the emergent layer can be found on the top of
the rainforests. There are only a few animals that can
be found in the emergent layer, for example Butterflies,
Tarantulas, Hummingbirds and Masaws.It is also hot,
windy and wet.


The next layer is the canopy layer the canopy layer is
located underneath the emergent layer. The Canopy
layer is home to mosals in the rainforests, because
there is plenty of shelter and food for example the
red-eyed tree frogs, sloths and toucans.


Then there's the understory layer, the understory layer
is located beneath the canopy layer. The understory
layer does not get that much sunlight, So it is dark and
humid there. The understory layer is home to smaller
animals like insects, snakes and bats. Also some larger
animals use this layer for hunting.

The last layer of the rainforest is called the forest floor
layer. This layer is very dark and humid because only
5% of the sunlight makes it to the forest floor layer.
The forest floor layer is home to large predators like
anteaters, jaguars and more.
