How have animals adapted to survive in the Amazon rainforest?

Answer 1

Rainforst animals survive much like we do.

They eat billions of insects a day, they eat some plants, some fruits and other vegetables. Whatever they want to eat, they can pick and choose

They usually build homes whether it be a bird making a nest or just a hole in a log, but the animals try to keep protected from the rain and to stay drive by making or using an existing shelter.

There is enough water for them to drink. Probably the most important way they survive is by not being eaten by other bugs. Some of the bugs have fake eyes to fool the predators. Some of the bugs spray poison. Some bugs sting, like bees.

Answer 2

Animals survive in the rainforest by finding shelter under trees and eating bark off trees. They also order Pizza ever Sunday so they don't have to eat bark every day. And finally animals have wars to see who gets which tree to sleep under and then at night they huddle together to keep warm

Answer 3

Animals have their own unique niche in any biome, incluidng the rainforest, whether it is a tropical rainforest, temperate rainforest or cool temperate rainforest. There are a number of animal adaptations which are specially suited for each species' niche.

There are many tall trees in the rainforest, so often rainforest mammals have strong limbs that enable them to climb trees to reach their food sources. Some of these mammals also have prehensile tails. Birds in the rainforest do not have expansive wing spans like eagles, but have wings shaped that enable them to manoeuvre more easily around the trees and plants of the rainforest, as there is not a lot of flying space in the rainforest. Gliders can live in the rianforest: their skin membranes enable them to glide between trees without even descending to the forest floor where predators may lurk.

Birds of the rainforest have specially shaped beaks and bills to help them find food. Some species of parrots live in the rainforest; parrots have strong, curved beaks to help them crack hard nuts and seeds. They also have strong claws on the feet which are usually adapted for climbing. Other birds have a long, slim, straight bill which may help them get nectar from within flowers, to pick berries or to grab hold of snails to crush them and eat them. Another unique adaptation of rainforest animals is the case of the glowworm - its bioluminescence lures prey into its special snares in the rainforest.

Many animals are effectively camouflaged in their rainforest habitat so that they cannot easily be seen by either their predators or their prey. Brightly coloured birds are surprisingly well camouflaged against the bright colours of the fruit and flowers on which they feed. Most animals have darker colours to help them hide from their predators. Small mammals can be camouflaged against tree trunks and among the leaf litter of the rainforest floor. Some frogs and lizards are amazingly camouflaged to look identical to the leaves among which they rest.

Rainforest animals are adapted to live in a variety of shelters. These include the hollows of trees or the leaf litter and rotting logs on the forest floor.

Answer 4

animals adapt to living in the rainforest by getting used to it for e.g some animals get used to hunting for their food.I know camels have a doubled layer of eyelashes and grow a hump on their back to get used to life in the rainforest.Different animals adapt to different things however this also applies to plants!

Answer 5

Animals have adapted to be able to survive in the Amazon rainforest in a variety of ways. One of the most common adaptations is to move up into the trees, making their homes in the rainforest canopy instead of on the ground.

Answer 6

tropical locations have cradled life since there has been life, and is the home to more species than any other biome; due to a number of reasons not fully understood to science (see latitudinal gradient of biodiversity). Your Question: any species living in a consistent ecosystem(climate) and creating successive generations is going to be adapted already. If they do not adapt or conditions change beyond tolerance (see acclimation), the species will drive toward extinction. The main concern of tropical diversity and species is the rapid rates of deforestation and species displacement, leading to mass extinction in the worlds richest biomes.

Answer 7

animals of the rainforest eat bark off trees and dig holes as there homes. they order pizza every sunday by the satilites in the trees

Answer 8

Animals can easily survive in the Amazon rainforest. This is because there is water, food and shelter for the animals. Animals also easily adapt to the environment.
