The canopy stops the rain from reaching the plants below. The rain must run down the trunks of the trees or drip off the leaves. This is the primary layer of the forest and forms a roof over the two remaining layers. Most canopy trees have smooth, oval leaves that come to a point. It's a maze of leaves and branches. Many animals live in this area since food is abundant. Those animals include: snakes, toucans and treefrogs. It also can avoid nutrient leaching!
