What is a rainforest habitat?

In the UK we get a lot of rain. But this habitat gets so much rain that they named it a rainforest.

This is the Amazon rainforest, the largest rainforest on Earth.

Oh, it's really raining and very warm!

Plants grow well here because it's so hot and wet.

This tree has its own microhabitat. Microhabitats are very small habitats inside a bigger one.

It's home to lots of bugs and insects. All in this tiny spot of the tree!

And what's that animal up in the tree? A jaguar! How did it get up there?

Its sharp claws make climbing trees a simple task.

There are other animals too. Like that howler monkey.

It uses its tail like an extra arm, helping it move from tree to tree.

And it's eating a banana. One of over three thousand types of fruit that grow in the rainforest.

There's an insect too! A butterfly. They can taste fruit through their feet. Imagine that!

So, rainforest habitats are wet and hot.

Ooh, I'm off to find a towel!
