Amazing Adaptations! - The Living Rainforest
Amazing Adaptations!The rainforest is a very complex environment and home to over half theworld’s plant and animal species, so it can be very crowded!Luckily there are lots of habitats within the rainforest, from the cooler,shaded forest floor, to the streams and rivers and the dense canopy.All the animals and plants in the rainforest have adapted to suit theirparticular habitat, meaning they can all survive in the rainforest.So what is an adaptation?Complete the passage by filling in the missing words from the list ateAn Adaptation is a . that takes place over . . ofyears, which helps . and . to . . in a particular . . .There are many different reasons for adaptations; they can help an animal tocatch , or to disguise it from they can also help it to , . or . through the environment or to with other species.Adaptations can be i.e. its colour, shape or size, or i.e.the way it moves and acts.Amazing Adaptations KS3 www.livingrainforest.org
Life under the CanopyThe lowest levels of the rainforest is the coolest and darkest where less than3% of light filters down through the dense canopy. Plants found here haveadaptations to help them get as much light as possible, so they can stillphotosynthesize (make their food).What special adaptation does the Giant Taro leaf have that helps it to capturesunlight? Nutrients such as nitrogen are alsoimportant to plants; can you draw a plantwhich has adapted an amazing method ofcatching living creatures to supply it withthose nutrients?How has this plant adapted to make surethat heavy rainfall doesn’t stop itcatching food? . . . The Swiss Cheese plant has adapted big holes in it leaves, what are thesefor? . Amazing Adaptations KS3 www.livingrainforest.org
In some parts of the rainforest there are so many plants and trees growingthere isn’t enough room to fit any more in the ground!One clever group of plants known as Epiphytes have solved this problem.Choose an Epiphyte and draw it below labelling how it is adapted to grow in therainforest?Many invertebrates live on the forest floor. These animals are often callednature’s recyclers!Can you explain the role that invertebrates have in the rainforest and say whythey are so important? . Some of these invertebrates, like the Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches,would make a potential meal for lots of rainforest predators.Amazing Adaptations KS3 www.livingrainforest.org
How have the Cockroaches adapted to defend themselves? . Agoutis are important seed dispersers in the forest and have a specialrelationship with the Brazil Nut Tree.Explain what is so special about them – how have they adapted? What wouldhappen to the Brazil nut tree without Agoutis? . Poison Dart Frogs are normally found on the forest floor; however theyhave a special relationship with a type of Epiphyte called a Bromeliad.What is the relationship and how might it benefit the Frogs and the Bromeliads? . . . Amazing Adaptations KS3 www.livingrainforest.org
Life in the TreesThe forest canopy is found at about 30-40 metres above ground level, andmost of the animals and plants of the rainforest are found here.Because of the large amount of foliage it can be quite challenging movingand communicating through the leaves and branches, so many animalshave adaptations to make this easier.How does the brightly coloured beak of a toucan help them survive in therainforest? Toucans and Turacos spend most of their time running along or hoppingthrough the branches. How are their feet adapted to help them with this?Can you draw and label them?Chameleons are tree climbing experts and use their tail as a fifth limb for extragrip and support when climbing. What is a tail like this known as? . Amazing Adaptations KS3 www.livingrainforest.org
Camouflage is an important method of defence for canopy creatures.Can you list 3 animals that use camouflage as protection - disguising themselvesfrom predators? Note what colour(s) they are?1. . 2. . 3. . Trees in the canopy get plenty of sunlight and water - sometimes too much!Why would it be a bad thing for the leaves to be wet all the time? . . Can you draw 3 adaptations leaves have made to remove excess water fromtheir surface? Name a plant(s) that use each type of adaptation?1) 2) 3) Amazing Adaptations KS3 www.livingrainforest.org
Our family of Goeldi’s Monkeys are another rainforest specialist!

Life in the River Due to the huge amount of rainfallthey receive, (a minimum of 2m peryear) tropical rainforests have someof the largest rivers in the world, likethe Amazon, Mekong, Orinoco, andCongo. These rivers are fed bysmaller tributaries, streams, andcreeks which provide lots of wateryhabitats.Amazing Adaptations KS3 www.livingrainforest.org
Stingrays are fish that live and feed on the riverbed. Their shape, colour andpatterns (on top and underneath) are adaptations that help them survive.Explain how their shape and colours help them to live their lives as bottomdwellers? . Turtles and Tortoises are very closely related, but Turtles live in water andTortoises live on land.
