What animals live in the under canopy layer?

Answer 1

WELL to be away from predators. To hide their food in the trees so bears do not eat it if it was left on the ground or dug up. To keep their young safe from preadtors Some animals like owls can see very well from higher distances so they would beable to see a mouse from in a 100ft tree! And some animals like squirels live in trees to highbernate in the winter so they store their nuts in the trees for the winter highbernation! Monkeys are made to swing from tree to tree in the rainforest and to look for bannanas and such I HOPE THAT ANWSERS IT :]

Answer 2

The canopy holds more life systaining potential. Bugs flourish in thick foliage, which attracts small reptiles, mammals, birds, which in turn attract larger predatory animals. Cover, a source of water in the form of very saturated plant life and the aforementioned predisposition to an active food chain versus open spaces, no shelter dictates where survival will last long enough to permit breeding.

Answer 3

Flying Squirrels

Hummingbirds

Primates (monkeys)

Fruit bats

Other smaller mammals

BECAUSE... they want to stay away from the large birds(predators) who are flying at the top of the canopy in the emergent layer

HOPE THIS HELPS :)

Answer 4

Just like humans value the higher floors of buildings, so do animals with trees. It's a status symbol. The lion is the king of the jungle not because of his roar or his bite, but because he sells the tops floors to the wily monkeys.

Answer 5

so shade the base of the tree. The base of the tree is were the roots are. so in order for the tree to grow, the roots have to be covered. if the roots were not covered, the water that goes through the roots would evaporate so the roots would die and so would the tree.

Answer 6

The forest canopy provides MANY sources of support for animal life. For one, it gives shade to keep cool, but has enough space to allow sunlight to pass. It is also a great home to animals, specifically leaf eaters, such as Howler Monkeys, Orangutans, and Sloths, which brings me to my third support, which is food. Many animals eat leaves, berries, and nuts that grow in the trees.

For the smaller birds, it provides protection from the raptors above.

Answer 7

Animals live under a canopy for shade and protection. Often a canopy helps an animal to hide, and when an animal is well hidden they generally live longer. When an animal lives in a hot environment the canopy can offer protection from the sun and heat.

Answer 8

there r over a millon animals that live in the tropical rain forest

Answer 9

The canopy is located in the rain forest's main layer. Animals that live there are squirrel monkeys, toucans, and many different species of butterflies.

Answer 10

In rainforests, most animals are found in the canopy.
