A rain forest is a forest that gets a lot of rain and that makes it very damp but at the top of the rainforest is really hot and humid. About the layers, there are four layers there is the emergent layer, canopy, understory and forest floor.
The first layer is the emergent layer is located at the top it is very windy, damp and hot. It is hot because the sun always shines there because most of the rainforest are on the equator. Most of the animals in the emergent layer is birds because the emergent layer is all the way at the top of the rainforest so only the birds can fly up. Did you know that the emergent layer 150 feet tall.
The next layer is the canopy, the canopy is located right under the emergent layer the canopy is the thickest part of the rainforest it hardly lets any sunlight inside of the rainforest canopy is so thick that it only lets 5% of the sunlight in. The things that live in the canopy are sloths, insects, frogs and monkeys. The canopy also is the also the cover for the rainforest.
After that layer, there will be an understory layer it is right under the canopy. The understory is were most animals live, like insects, bats, monkeys, snakes, lizards, jaguars and frogs. It also is very hot because the canopy is like a omnisphere it traps all the hot air so inside of the canopy will be very hot. Most of the animals there are poisonous and dangerous, like snakes, frogs and jaguars.
The last layer is the forest floor is located all the way at the bottom. Most of the forest floor animals do not fly they walk. They also don't just stay in forest floor they go to the understory to go and get food. Some of the animals that live in the forest floor are anteaters, jaguars and heaps of insects.
