Rainforest Layers

This is part of a script for a television programme about rainforests . This part is about the different layers there are and what lives there.

At the very top of the rainforest there are only a few trees. These trees have grown taller than most. They can be between 40 and 60 metres tall. They have been growing since long before we were born. Eagles, bats and even monkeys live here.

Below this is a large layer of leaves-the tops of many, many trees. From the above, it looks like a floor. These trees are between 30 and 45 metres tall. More wildlife lives here than anywhere else in the rainforest. This is home to many birds, butterflies, tree frogs and snakes. A quarter of all insects live here. There are also large animals here. Leopards and jaguars can come up to this layer from the lower layer to hunt for food.

Close to the ground, many smaller trees and bushes grow. They grow quickly, trying to grow towards the light—and die quickly. Most insects live in this layer.

The forest floor has lots of decay. It is so dark here that very little can grow. Dead leaves and animals fall to the ground and decay. The only thing that grows here is fungi. It feeds on the decaying leaves and helps to break them down quickly. The rainforest floor is home to larger animals such as elephants, leopards, and bears.
