Conclusion and Evaluation

 

Animals of the rainforest

There are more kinds of animals in the rainforest than anywhere else on Earth.  Over half of the millions of known species of animals live in the rainforest.  Many are found nowhere else.  There are even animals in the rainforest that we have not yet discovered.

Task 3:

Choose 3 rainforest animals.  (You may choose a bird, or a reptile).  For each of these animals include a picture.  Describe the habitat it lives in, describe its lifestyle and how it adapts and survives in the rainforest.  If it is endangered, explain the reasons for this.
