Tropical rainforests By: Jaden Trujillo, Julianna Valencia, and Seleni Ruiz

What is a rainforest? The rainforest is a place where some animals and plants live. Half of all species of animals live in the rainforests. A rainforest is a hot, misty area.

Location of Rain Forests The Tropical Rainforests are mostly around the equator. They are mostly by the equator because it gets more sun.

Emergent Layer The Emergent Layer is a place where tall trees emerge out in the sky. It is also home to many animals such as the harpy eagle, monkeys, toucans, and scarlet macaw.

Three toed sloth The three toed sloth is so slow that algae grows on its fur. Once a week he or she climbs down from its home to go to the bathroom.

Canopy Layer The Canopy is the second tallest layer in the Tropical Rainforest.The three toed sloth and her babies live there with the toucans, butterflies, snakes, and lizards.

Red eyed tree frog The red eyed tree frog has red eyes and blue webbed feet. It lays its eggs in circular leaves. the babies as tadpoles eat the extra red eyed tree frog’s eggs.

Understory Layer The understory is a place where it is very dark. The animals that live there are the tree porcupine, jaguar, snakes, insects, and frogs.

Forest Floor On the Forest Floor there are armadillos, tapirs, anteaters, capybaras, and butterflies. There is much to see in the Forest Floor.

Deforestation Deforestation is very bad for the habitat of the animals of the Rainforest because they will not survive in any other place in the world. The people have been cutting down the trees.Then they put it on fire and then they grow grass for grazing fields. Also they sell the wood for lumber.

People of the Rain Forest The people of the rainforest have discovered some plants that help us and they also share it with us.
