Animals of the Rainforest
The rainforest is one of the most diverse habitats on Earth, home to species of animals and plants that can not be found anywhere else on the planet. The trees and plants that make up the canopy are essential to the survival of these unique species, providing food and shelter to these animals. But the trees and plant life also depend on the animals and help with pollination and fertilization. This delicate habitat is being disturbed every day for a number of modern conveniences, but making more conscious choices can help lower the demand for disturbing this environment. Below are some of the unusual animals you can find living under the rainforest canopy.
