What animals and plants live in the canopy of a forest?
Animals that live in the canopy of a forest include monkeys, sloths, birds like toucans and parrots, and tree frogs. Plants found in the canopy are epiphytes like orchids and bromeliads, along with tree species like mahogany and kapok.
What animals live in the canopy layer of the rainforest?
Since the canopy of the trees in the rain forest are high up there arent many plants living except for fungus and seedlings. As far as animals go there are many birds up there to escape the threat of predators down below. There are also many different species of primates that dwell in the canopy such as lemurs and baboons.Answer:The diversity of the rainforest canopy depends on the rainforest location - the Amazonian forest is very different from that of Canada's British Columbia. Using th Amazonian forest as an example, the canopy of the rainforest is a vibrant ecology with hundreds of species of plants and animals. The plant species include the trees producing the canopy, parasitic species, and fungi. The animals include a wide range of mammals (monkeys, sloths, predators, bats), insects, reptiles, amphibians
What animals live in the under canopy layer?
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 :]
How did the bromeliad adapt to the rainforest?
Bromeliads are a distinctive family of tropical plants which includes the pineapple. Their leaves overlap at their bases to form a 'vase' into which water and nutrients (leaf litter, droppings, dead animals) collect. Many animals drink from them, and some animals, such as tree frogs, live in them. Adaptation - The pools collect moisture and nutrients which is important as many bromeliads are epiphytic and so do not obtain these essentials from the soil through their root systems.
What type of weather do toucans like?
Toucans prefer warm and humid weather. They are typically found in tropical rainforests where the climate is consistently warm and there is plenty of rainfall. Extreme temperatures and dry conditions can be stressful for toucans.
Why do so many animal live in canopy?
many animals live in the canopy because it is the safest place as it is high up away from ground predators and not as many predators live in the sky
Why is the canopy and understory populated by so many animals?
the canopy and understorey are populated by so many animals because it is safer for the animals that have preditores on the forest floor

Why does the tarantula live in the canopy?
so they protect them self
What happens in a rainforest if the leaf canopy is thinned or destroyed?
Sunlight will reach farther down into the understory, which might help plants down there grow faster. Some animals live their entire life in the canopy, so an extended range of thin or no canopy would fragment their habitat.
What layer does the Golden Lion tamarin live in?
emergent layer
What layer of the rainforest does the harpy eagle live?
The canopy is the section of the rain forest that the Harpy Eagle lives in
What layer of the rainforest does the quetzal live in?
the second layer so they are allowed to catch their preys i am not specific about the name
Why are tropical rain forests so rich in biodiversity?
Climate: Tropical rainforests receive almost 12 hours of sunlight every day. This sunlight is converted to energy by plants through the process of photosynthesis. Since there is a lot of sunlight, there is a lot of energy locked up in the rainforest. This energy is stored in plants that are eaten by animals. Because there is a lot of food, there are many species of plants and animals. Canopy: The spreading structure of the rainforest canopy means there are more places for plants to grow and animals to live. The canopy offers many unique sources of food and shelter. For example, there are plants in the canopy called bromeliads that store water in their leaves. Frogs use these pockets of water like ponds for hunting and laying their eggs. Since all their needs are met in the canopy, some frog species spend all their lives there.
