There is a variety of fruits, nuts, insects, leaves, and nectar-bearing flowers for animals to eat. Plus, predators such as eagles can feed on the animals feeding on those food sources.

Bats live in the understory layer of the rainforest. The understory is below the canopy and it's much easier for bats to fly in this layer.
How much sunlight does th canopy layer get?
Just about all of it.Only the sunlight not captured at the canopy penetrates into lower stories.http://wiki.answers.com/How_much_sunlight_gets_to_the_canopy_layer_of_the_rain_forest#ixzz19KjIibdma2. You can easily do an experiment. Go into a single story forest, and at some suitable place, take a shot with your camera pointing straight up.From this you should be able to estimate the proportion of clear sky visible from below the canopy. The covered space is that captured by the canopy.
What is the name of the rain forest stratum the contains giant trees much taller than the average canopy height?
tropical forest
What do you call the plants that live in shady places?
Plants which grow in shady places are called Shade Tolerant Plants......Like in the Amazon forest..where the plantation is very thick and trees grow tall and enormous. Their leaves act as a canopy or they form a blanket which does not allow sunlight to reach the ground...yet there are plants which grow below this canopy of leaves because they are shade tolerant plants....they dont require much sunlight....Dominic Ferrao ...domyferrao@yahoo.com

What animals live in the middle layer of the rainforest?
Understory - The Middle LayerSmaller trees, bushes, and plants such as ferns, live in the understory. Not much sunlight reaches here, because the canopy blocks the sun. Still, many birds and animals make their home in the understory. Forest wildcats, such as the leopard, are excellent tree climbers. They will chase monkeys and squirrels through the understory for food.
Which would be better suited for agricultural development the soil of a tropical rain forest or the soil of a temperature deciduous forest?
The deciduous soil. Not much sunlight get to the bottom on the rain forest because the canopy and other layers block the sunlight.The Deciduous forest on the other hand, has many animal droppings and pellets which are good fertilizer and will keep all plants in tip-top shape.
Why doesn't the understory get much sunlight?
It has a small amount of light that reaches the understory and forest floor because it has a limited source of sunlight left for the plants and animals to live in
