A Journey to
a Rain Forest

Imagine walking through a
rain forest. Monkeys howl
from the treetops. Colorful
parrots fly overhead.

Howler monkeys can be heard
from miles (4.8 kilometers) away!

Leaves block the sunlight. The
air feels damp. Water drips
from the trees that tower
above you.

Tropical rain forests grow in
wet places near the equator.
There are also temperate rain
forests along coastal areas.

T his map shows
tropical rain forests.

Tropical rain forest plants
grow in layers. Plants
compete for sunlight. The
lower layers get less light and
have fewer plants than the
upper layers of the rain forest.

T he rain forest can get
to inches (203 to 1,016
centimeters) of rain each year.

More rain falls in this biome
than in any other place on
Earth. Even when the rain
stops, the water keeps falling
through each layer of the
rain forest.

But it is not cold in the
tropical rain forest. The
temperature stays between
and F (21 to C) all year.

Temperate rain forests are
not as warm as tropical rain
forests. They are farther from
the equator. Winters are long
and wet. Summers are drier.

Temperate rain forests are
f illed with ocean fog. Water
droplets drip down tall trees.

Animals in t h e
Rain Forest

There are more kinds of
animals in a rain forest habitat
than anywhere else on Earth.

Many rain forest animals live
high in the trees. Harpy eagles
make huge nests at the top
of the forest. They use their
strong claws to hunt for food.

Harpy eagles can turn their heads
upside down to see their prey.

T his sloth
hides in a tree.

Sloths hang from branches in
the canopy. Green algae in
their fur makes them harder to
see in the trees.

White bats roost beneath
leaves. They bite the
leaves into V- shaped tents
to keep dry. At night, they
fly and find fruit to eat.

Water collects in plants
growing in the understory.
Poison dart frogs carry their
tadpoles from the forest floor
to these pools of water. The
pools keep the tadpoles safe.

This frog is carrying
its tadpoles on its back.

Leaf- cutter ants cut leaves from
rain forest plants. The ants
carry the leaves to underground
nests. Fungus grows on the
chewed- up leaves. Then the
ants eat the fungus.

Animals in temperate rain
forests find food on the
ground. Seeds fall from the
trees. Birds, chipmunks, and
deer gather the seeds.

In the temperate rain
forest, most animals
live on the ground.
