ANIMALS ADAPTATIONS TO THE RAINFOREST
- Toucans have adapted to eating things that other animals don’t eat. They’re long beaks are used to cut down fruit or pick fruit of branches that might not be able to support their weight.
- Sloths have adapted to the rainforest in many ways. One being that they spend most of their time hanging upside down from trees while blue-green algae grows on them acting as a camo since they are too slow to avoid predators.
PLANTS ADAPTATIONS TO THE RAINFOREST
- Bengal Bamboo trees have adapted to the rainforest by developing vascular bundles that absorb water and send it up the cane quickly. It allows these trees to grow fast and reach the canopy to start photosynthesis
- Kapok Tree has developed amazing height of what can reach to 150 feet tall. The trunk has developed external spines and hardened trunk to prevent predators to cause harm to the tree.

INTERRELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ANTS AND CATERPILLARS
- One symbiotic relationship in the rain forest are between ants and caterpillars. • Certain caterpillar species produce sweet chemicals from the “dew patches” on their backs. The ants will feed off of. • In return for the caterpillars the ants with protect them. Sometimes the ants have been seen carrying the caterpillar to its nest so it can safely sleep at night.
