Amazing Adaptations
What is the structure like in the rainforest and how have plants and
animals adapted to live there?

Lianas: Vine-like plants which use large trees as a
support to climb up to the canopyThin soils
because nutrients are quickly used
up
Buttress roots: Stand above the
ground to support tall
trunks
Little undergrowth because the
sunlight can’t reach ground
layer
In the morning the sun shines, this
makes the water in the system
evaporate, rise and then condensate to
form clouds…
By the afternoon it is raining!Whatever the
weather, lots of animals live in the
rainforest!
Plants, like lianas, have also adapted to life in
the rainforest. For example, some have ‘drip-tips’ so that the water runs off them
The whole rainforest
works together as a
‘system’

Nutrient Cycle
• Complete the following diagram on the nutrient cycle:
- The roots quickly take up the nutrients again- The nutrients help the vegetation to grow.- Decomposers release the nutrients from them.- Dead leaves and animal waste fall all year round.- The soil down here is poor because the nutrients don’t get a chance to sink in.

How has the TRF adapted to the environment?
• Label the following statements on your sketch of the rainforest …
1. Leaves have drip tips so that they are not damaged with the daily heavy rainfall in the forest.
2. Buttress roots are used to anchor trees into the thin soil which can not support a deep root system.
3. On the ground level plants have large frond like leaves to capture as much sunlight as possible.

How have these animals adapted to life in the rainforest?
Toucans have very strong legs to grip onto the branches in the canopy, with two toes pointing forward and two pointing backwards! Their big beak help communication and collecting fruits and insects!
Pygmy marmosets are well camouflaged against trees and have very sharp claws and teeth. Their teeth have adapted to eat tree sap and gum.
Crocodiles have very strong tails and jaws making it a very effective predator
The hard shell of a tortoise and the fact that it can hide inside its shell means that it can protect itself from most predators.
Write down two of these neatly into your exercise book

Your turn!
• Now you have the chance to design either your own new plant or animal!
• Make sure that it is clearly labelled as to how it has adapted to live in the rainforest.
