The trees will be up to 35 metres tall and form a canopy over The canopy, next layer up, is probably the best known of the rain forest layers. You will find birds, snakes, butterflies and frogs here and the whole area will be filled with activity and colour. These will grow until they are just under the canopy of the forest and will wait there until they find a space to grow into.

Although these are small in comparison to the taller trees of the forest, they can still reach up to around 20 metres in height. The rain forest layers then continue with a layer of small trees called the understory. Next will be a shrub layer which is home to many varieties of shrubs and ferns. Many larger animals will be found here including big cats, elephants and gorillas.

There will be some mosses and ferns growing in the warm and damp. This layer will be home to millions of micro organisms and invertebrates which live amongst the fallen leaves. Much of the sunlight does not penetrate here and in fact only around 2% of the sunlight reaches the floor. The lowest is the forest floor.
