Macaw: they use their tails to keep themselves balanced on the trees. Their bright colors make all the other creatures see them. They also have a slow wing beat so predators cant see or hear them.

Bark: they don’t need thick bark to keep them from drying out because the rainforest is already wet. Some trees have thin barks the smoothness of it makes it difficult for plants to grow on the surface.

Mangroves: many mangroves have glands that excrete salt. They live in places where there is little oxygen in the soil and a lot of salt. Their leaves are thick and leathery to reduce excessive transpiration.

Plants

Drip tips: they adapted to cope with high rainfall. Drip tips allow raindrops to slide down quickly.

Lianas: lianas grows from the forest floor up a tree truck and into the canopy.

Plants

The abiotic factors of the rainforest id the amount of water and weather.

These factors also affect the type of animals and plants that live in my biome.

Human cut down trees in the rainforest and this affects the habitat of species.

Humans kill animals in order to get food, this is a bad thing because if people kill animals they will be endangered.
