 * Facts about rainforest animals **
 * Scientists believe that there is such a great diversity of animals because rainforests are the oldest ecosystem on earth
 * It is believed that over 50% of the world's species of plants and
 * The largest rainforest is this Amazon.
 * Birds in the rainforest like toucans and parrots have big beaks which help them take food from other animals
 * Since the rain forest has many trees, a good adaptation would be the one that allows animals to be able to climb and forage for food in trees Monkeys and sloths are a good example of this.
 * being able to swim and cope with a lot of rainfall, caimans, turtles and snakes such as andacondas are a good examples of this.
 * being nocturnal to avoid the high temperatures of the day and the competition from diurnal animals such as bats.
 * Another way is many of them have developed some sort of camouflaging mechanism Chameleons change colors to help them blend in, a Tigers stripes help it blend into the shadows, Poison Dart Frogs have many flashy greens, blues and yellows to help warn off predators but to also stay hidden amongst the leaves, water, and sun spots. Another example would be looper caterpillars look like part of the green plant that they attach themselves to. this is a great way to hide from predators
