Tropical Rainforest

Our biome!
The map shows where tropical
rainforests are located!
• The green color places are the rainforests!
Animals living in the rainforest!

Birds
Monkeys
Jaguars
Insects
Snakes
Etc 
How do birds adapt to the rainforest?
• Birds stay in canopy’s , this provides as a roof
for them. The trees have fruit with seeds that
birds, monkeys and other animals eat. Often
the animals spread the seeds throughout the
rain forest. There are also plenty of insects for
birds to feed on.
How do monkey’s adapt to the
rainforest?
• Rainforests tend to lay claim to most monkey
species. Also the tree’s in the rainforest
contain fruits and nuts that most monkey’s
feed on. Although some monkey’s choose to
be carnivores.
How do Jaguars adapt to the
rainforest?
• Jaguars live on the rainforest floor and can be
found in Amazon rainforests. The jaguar is
endangered due to over hunting for its fur.
Jaguars eat frogs, fish, turtles, deer, and
caiman. Jaguars are great swimmers and like
to fish and hunt at night.
How do insects adapt to the
rainforest?
The canopy layer is the next layer of tall trees,
but they are much denser. The Canopy layer
trees shed water quickly and attract vines,
insects, butterflies, monkeys and birds. The
understory is beneath the canopy layer. This
where some of the brightest insects are found,
because camouflage is not required.
How do snakes adapt to the
rainforest?
In tropical rainforest there are plenty of mice,
bugs, and frogs which serve as a delicious
mean for snakes. 
Plants in the rainforest
•
•
•
•
•
Bamboo
Coconut trees
Mangroves Forest
Jambu
Etc 
Bamboos
• This plant grows in Southeast Asian forest. This bamboo can
grow anywhere between 40 and 80 feet. This plant needs
much water to survive. It is approximately 3 inches in
diameter at maturity. Usually the blades fall off when the
leaves have matured.
Coconut Trees
• Because the weather is hot and wet, trees do
not need thick bark to slow down moisture
loss and have instead thin, smooth bark.
Mangrove Forest 
• Mangroves can survive in the most busy areas,
prop themselves above the water level with
stilt roots and can then absorb air through
pores in their bark
Jambu tree
• The trees are adaptive for a wide range of soil
types.
Abiotic factors and human activities
• We will tell you about the abiotic factors and
the human activities NOW !
Abiotic Factors
• The abiotic factors of the rainforest biome are-the amount of water
and sunlight, climate, weather and precipitation. These are very
important because without the right amount of water and sunlight the
trees in the rainforest would not be able to grow and it would die.
These factors also affect the types of plants and animals that can live in
this area. A good example is that a lot of small bushes and shrubs
would not be able to live here because all the really tall trees would
block most of the sunlight causing a lack in sunlight to the bushes and
shrubs below them. This would cause the shrubs to die.
Human activities
•
• Some of the many activities that happen in the
rainforest are logging and oil drilling. These
happen from companies, developing the forest
for primary resources. These activities are made
by national projects of road development, 80%
of deforestation occurs within 50km of roads
within this forest, without which the forest
would remain unapproachable to all private
beings.
