The first layer is the emergent layer, the emergent layer
is the top layer of the rainforest, only a few animals live
there, This layer is hot, wet and windy .
The second layer is the canopy layer, the canopy layer is
beneath the emergent layer. The canopy layer is home
to most of the animals and plants of the rainforest.
The third layer is the understory, the understory layer is
located under the canopy layer. This layer doesn’t get
much sunlight. It is dark and humid, the understory layer
is home to smaller animals and some larger animals use
the understory layer for hunting.
The last layer is the forest floor layer, the forest floor is
dark, humid and hot. Only 5% of sunlight reaches the
forest floor. Jaguars, Scorpions and Anteaters are some
of the animals that live on the forest floor.
