Rainforest Layers and Their Inhabitants

The video explains the four layers of the rainforest: emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor. Each layer has unique characteristics and hosts different animals. The emergent layer is hot and windy, home to few animals like macaws. The canopy is rich in food and shelter, housing most animals like sloths. The understory is dark and humid, inhabited by smaller animals and snakes. The forest floor receives minimal sunlight, with animals like jaguars. Animals often move between layers for living and hunting.
