On the damp, earthy forest floor a cool, fresh

the trees.

Instructions: Research an animal that lives in the rainforest and

Rainforests are a kind of forest habitat. They are found in warm places, and are full of many tall trees and leafy plants. It’s called ‘rainforest’ because it also gets a lot of rain every year, helping all the plants grow. Because rainforests are warm, wet and dense, they are full of life – millions of different kinds of plants and animals live there, and some haven’t even been discovered yet! It’s important to protect rainforest habitats for all the creatures who live there, and for

humans too; rainforests produce 20% of the oxygen that all of us in the world need to breathe.

Animals that live in rainforests include:

boa constrictor

capybara forest elephant giant anteater jaguar macaw

marmoset poison dart frog sloth spider monkey tapir toucan tree frog

Research your chosen animal and write a fact file about it. Include: -a description -information about its habitat -its diet -interesting facts
