Animal Life - Life in the Canopy

Animal Life - Life in the Canopy
World Wildlife Foundation

Rainforests harbour a bewildering number of animal species. Because there is little undergrowth, most animals live on the epiphyte-laden branches of the canopy where they can find food.

Here, insects abound and an incredibly large number of birds and small frogs feed on them. Tree-living lizards, chameleons and snakes in turn feed on the smaller animals. Hummingbirds and sunbirds sip nectar from flowers.
