Rainforest Stratas

The rainforests are home to more than half the animals in the world.

Rainforest animals reside in all four stratas of the forest. 'Strata' means 'layers'.

Scientists divide rainforests into different strata (or layers) for easy reference.

Each of these layers is a very different environment and supports different life forms.

The stratas differ in many ways, including temperature, the amount of sunlight that they receive, the wetness of the environment and the amount and types of life forms living in it.
