Rainforest Layers
There are four different parts of a rainforest that sustain distinct plants and animals within each layerCanopy Layer
The densest layer containing the majority of trees, 50% of all plant species, and a quarter of all insect species. This allows light to the top but reduces it greatly below. Most of the rainforest's animals live in this level. The science of exploring this layer is called dendronautics. The leaves have "drip Spouts" which allows raiin to run off which keeps them from forming mildew and mold.Forest Floor Layer
Receives 2% of sunlight and consists of decaying animal and plant matter. Numerous forms of fungi inhabit this layer.-

The water nurturing the greenery and allowing frogs to live here along with the song birds of the rainforest. This is only the sounds of natural daily life in the rainforest. Enjoy as it fills you with the sounds of this lush environment.
