How do mammals adapt to the rainforest climate?

Answer 1

The plants don't drown in the heavy rainfall and don't wither in the heat and some can find food themselves (Venus fly trap). Same with the animals, they can stand the weather and all the animals can all get their own food, it doesn't depend on the climate. :-)

Answer 2

How do Plants Adapt to the Rainforest?

Plants that live in the rainforest have adapted in amazing ways to several very difficult conditions. This means that the plant has changed something in its "body" or "habits" (the things that it does) to make it easier to survive in difficult conditions. There are several conditions they have had to adapt to. First, the soil of the forest floor is shallow, which means not very deep. Also, the soil of the rainforest is not very fertile, or easy to grow in. Most of the nutrients, or vitamins and minerals that help plants grow are contained in the living trees of the rainforest, not in the soil. The forest floor and understory do not receive much light, which also makes it difficult for plants to survive there. Next, is the problem of very heavy rains which continue over a large part of the year. Finally, many plants of the rainforest are food for animals that live there. This is not a problem for rainforest animals, but it is one for rainforest plants!

The biggest problem that rainforest plants have to adapt to is the lack of sunlight in the rainforest's lower levels. Plants have adapted to this problem in several ways. Many plants have very large leaves. Large leaves are helpful because they have more surface area. The more surface area a leaf has the more sunlight it can absorb. The canopy trees adapt by growing to be 100 feet tall so that their leaves can grab all available sunlight. Other plants called lianas (climbing woody vines) have adapted by rooting themselves in the soil of the forest floor and growing up the trees until they reach the canopy layer. Still other plants, such as epiphytes, have adapted by growing directly on the trees' trunks and branches in the canopy and understory layers of the rainforest

An adaptation to the large amounts of rainfall that many rainforest plants have is called drip tips. Their leaves are tapered to a sharp point at the end. This allows water to run off of the leaf quickly. There are many other adaptations that rainforest plants have made to their environment. These will be discussed in detail, as we investigate the plants of the rainforest!
