Describe the layers of the rainforest? Each layer is filled with animals and plants. In the top layer, the Emergent is home to most birds and insects, because of its unusual tree heights. Trees here can live up to 350 years.
Some mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibibians etc find the Canopy layer just for them. This is probably because of its leafy, luscious environment.
A lot of sunshine doesn't reach the Understory layer, making the plant leaves having to grow larger to reach the sun. A big range of creatures live here. Some include; Tree frogs, Jaguars and Insects.
Last but not least, the Forest-Floor home to many large animals, such as the anteater. This particular layer is very gloomy and dark, so not many plants thrive here.
Here is a illustrated picture drawn by me to help:
