The apes are plant eaters and travel to different levels of the rain forest for fruit and twigs to eat. Many species of bats live in the rain forests. At night they search for fruit and plants to eat. Some have big eyes and a very strong sense of smell. Some have long tongues to get the nectar from flowers.
Bees are very important to the rain forest.
They along with bats and other insects pollinate flowers. This helps the plants form seeds which can then develop more plants. High in the emergent layer of the rainforest is the place you find these colorful birds. The male bird of paradise is very colorful and attracts its mate by displaying his feathers and making loud sounds all day long. They live in the forest canopy where they search for fruit.
