      fish and animals.

      3. Amazing

      4. 1. They live between 30 and 100 years. 2. They can grow up to six metres long. 3. They have up to 300 teeth.

      Layers of the rainforest:

      1. The canopy layer

      2. It means the dense is full.

      3. 1. The forest floor receives less than 2% of the sun’s light, while the canopy is a sunny area with much more light. 2. The forest floor has little plant growth and fewer animals due to low light, while the canopy is home to up to 90% of rainforest creatures and is rich in fruit and seeds.

      4. Animals don’t live on the forest floor because it is very hot, humid, and receives less than 2% of the sun’s light, making it a difficult environment for plants and animals to live. There is little plant growth, and there is not much food or resources compared to the canopy.
