There are millions of different species of animals in the world's rain forests. Some kinds of butterflies have special wing patterns that tell other animals that they are poisonous. Other edible butterflies try to copy this same pattern, allowing them to trick predators. Chameleon Chameleons are a kind of lizard that can change color as the light or temperature changes, or when it is scared. The chameleon has a very long sticky tongue that darts out of its mouth to catch insects.
Chameleons grow up to twenty-five inches long.
Gorilla Gorilla's live mostly in Zaire, and are very large. Gorilla's have coarse black hair. Jaguar Jaguars can climb trees and swim to catch their prey, but they are known for their fast running. The jaguar is large and orange with black or brown spots, but no stripes. It likes to hunt weaker animals, so it can win without a fight.
