Day 3 - What animals live in the rainforest? Which layer of the rainforest do they live in? Select one rainforest animal, find a picture of it and describe its habitat.

There are a variety of animals that inhabit the rainforest including insects, reptiles, birds, mamals and amphibians. All animals have there place in the layers of the rainforest. For example, most larger animals live on the forest floor, birds are on the canopy or emergent layer, monkeys and animals like the sloth are on the trees and insects are roaming everywhere.

The animal I have chosen is the Anaconda.The anaconda is the largest snake in the world. This huge reptile lives in swampy areas of tropical South America. Like all snakes, anacondas are cold-blooded. The longest anaconda ever found was 37.5 feet (11.4 m) long. Anacondas are greenish-brown with  black oval spots on the back.
