2. I am not going to do your homework for 10 points. Ot maybe I will make up a lie. naaaaaa
3. understory -- birds canopy -- butterflys forest floor -- insects example -- tarantula not sure how to explain how they have adapted to its particular place. sry. here's a website link.
4. look up darwin's finches
5. The canopy layer contains the majority of the largest trees, typically 30-45 meters tall. The majority of the trees have smooth, thin bark because there is no need to protect the them from water loss and freezing temperatures. The leaves have "drip spouts" that allows rain to run off. This keeps them dry and prevents mold and mildew from forming in the humid environment. Only about 2% of sunlight reaches to the forest floor. Banana slugs are found in this moist, shady habitat. They are actually snails that do not need the hard shell that would normally protect them from hot, dry environments. Newts, salamanders, and frogs inhabit the pools and rotting wood debris found on the forest floor. Also, fungi (mushrooms included) thrive on the forest floor due the darkness and constant moisture. Palm trees are found in the understory, having adapted to the lack of sunlight by developing a very slender trunk with little secondary growth. Some palms have adapted by reaching heights of 60 meters to become part of the canopy. Ferns and mosses that thrive on lower sunlight conditions also do well in the understory. The shaded understory provides a dark, cool, humid environment for a variety of specialized mammals, birds, frogs, and insects adapted to dark forest conditions.
