Every tropical rainforest has four layers within it. Among them, there is the canopy or upper layer, and it’s the one that has the most wildlife throughout the entire forest – sure enough, it is generally considered that the canopy is home to around 90% of the jungle animals, including the ones that never descend to the ground (since they prefer to stay in the upper layer that is high enough to let them elude predators, and is abundant with fruits and seeds), such as monkeys and birds.

The highest layer, called the “emergent layer”, also teems with numerous wildlife, including countless birds and insects, since it’s completely sunny, and it’s too high for most predators to reach. But it does have a downside: all plants and animals that live in this layer need to be able to withstand the hot temperatures and strong winds that often occur above the canopy.
