Their branches form a canopy, or umbrella, that shades the forest floor. Thick, woody vines are found in the canopy. These vines, called lianas, sometimes are as big around as a person. They climb the tree in the canopy to reach for sunlight. Many fruits, nuts, oils, and other products are produced by plants in the rainforest.
Monkeys spend most of their time leaping around the trees of the the rainforests.
Rainforests are also very busy at night when different animals, called nocturnal animals, wake up.

The place where an animal lives is called its habitat and contains different types of food. There is a wide variety of birds that make their home in the rainforest.
