how animals have adapted to the rainforest
Plants and Animals Adaptations to the Tropical Rainforest. The plants need sunlight for photosynthesis (the way they make their own food). This is because the plant traps the sun's energy in the chlorophyll, in the leaves. This is then used to turn carbon dioxide and water into glucose.lants and Animals Adaptations to the Tropical Rainforest.

Large snakes and large mammals, too heavy for the upper layers, roam this area. These include: This layer of the forest, which is under the thick forest canopy, is characterized by little light, short trees, and short plants. Animals that have adapted to this layer include:This layer of the rainforest, characterized by numerous tangled tree branches and leaves which block most of the sunlight, is by far the most populated layer. Bird and monkey species are among the most common animals found here. These forests are known for their tall trees, dense vegetation, and for being humid and wet. 2  There are four layers in a tropical rainforest biome (Forest Floor, Understory Layer, Canopy Layer, and Emergent Layer) and there are animals that have adapted to living in each one (or more) of these layers.
