Tropical Rainforests: Adaptations of Animals to Rainforests 🐒 GCSE Geography Learning & Revision

In this episode, we discuss the adaptions of animals to rainforests.Various animals residing in tropical rainforests have developed unique features to aid their survival and reproduction. Monkeys, such as tamarins and howlers in the Amazon, utilise strong limbs and tails to navigate the high canopy, evading ground-based predators. Flying squirrels, conversely, possess skin flaps enabling them to glide between trees. Camouflage is another crucial adaptation, exemplified by chameleons changing colour and jaguars having patterned fur. Nocturnal behaviour, seen in sloths and anteaters, helps conserve energy and allows for activity during cooler periods with less light, while heightened senses compensate for dim conditions.Don't miss out on subscribing for more educational content tailored to help you succeed in your exams.
