Best Answer

The forest floor is dark because the trees are dense and tall above so they can collect as much sun light as possible. This means that only 2% of sun light reaches the forest floor.

What does a orangutans habitat look like?

Orang-Utans primarily live in the Bornean and Sumatran rainforests, in South East Asia. Their habitat is very humid, with tall rainforest trees and a lot of shrubbery on the forest floor. Only 2% of the sun's rays reach the rainforest floor, so it is relativly dark, but orang-utans spend most of their time in the canopy. For some pics, type 'bornean rainforest' into google :)
