Life in a Rainforest IFE IN A AINFOREST

Fly over the ocean, and the view can get a little boring. It’s just a big stretch of blue, and it doesn’t look like there’s much going on. You might think the same thing flying over a rainforest—it’s just colored green instead of blue. But that’s far from the truth. Just as with oceans, it’s under the surface where things get interesting. Inside a tropical rain- forest, each tree is like a skyscraper, with thousands of residents. The ones who live in a rooftop apartment may never cross paths with those who live on the ground floor. But all the animals here are important parts of the rainforest “city.”
