Animals
The tropical rainforest is home to 10 million animals! There are spiders, snakes, rodents, lizards, frogs, birds, monkeys, jaguars, marbled cats, and sloths. This biome is the most diverse in it's animal species and plant life. With all it's vegitation, animals can live and thrive from getting the food and shelter they need. For example, the amazon squirrel monkey feeds off a fruit produced several times a year by the fig tree, also these monkeys get housing from this tree. Animals just like plants have to adapt to this enviroment. Some examples are that monkeys have long arms to reach from branch to branch, toucan birds have hard beaks to crack nut shells, and they also have a long beak to reach fruits and nuts. If these animals did not have these adaptations it would be hard for them to survive in they jungle. They could starve or get eaten by a predator such as a jaguar.
