Creatures Of The Forest
Below, you will find just some of the wonderful
creatures in the Rainforests. These creatures are
ok for now, but only for NOW !
The Armadillo has a hard bony skin
to protect it from its enemies. The
Armadillo is a strong digger and a
good swimmer. It swallows air to
keep its heavy body afloat.
Imagine having suction discs on your feet for climbing trees. The Tree Frog uses them to cling to the stems and leaves that hide it.
The Morpho Butterfly's brilliant, deep-blue wings seem to glow in the sunlight. It's hard to see when
its wings are folded.
Sometimes green, sometimes brown,
the Anolis Lizard changes its
color to match its background.
Leafcutting Ants cut leaves high in the
trees and carry them to the ground to
feed their fungus garden. They don't
eat the leaves, but eat the fungus
that grows on the leaves.
The Lantern Fly has a large
peanut-shaped head, and can
barely be seen when it is sitting
on a branch. When frightened, it flies
off, showing its two large eye spots.
Fer-de-lance lays in wait on the forest floor and kills its prey with deadly poison in its fangs. It is the most feared animal in the rainforest.
Army Ant Butterflies follow army ant trails. They eat droppings from the birds that follow the army ants.
The forest floor is the Mud Puddle
Frog's home. Here it finds insects to eat,
and lays its eggs in mud puddles.
Rotting fruit is the Owl Butterfly's favorite meal. The large eye spots on its wings look like owl eyes, and may scare away predators.
All of these wonderful creatures
are available for adoption. Please go
and get one for your self by clicking
on the certificate, or you can be
selfish like me and adopt all of them !
Just promise to give them a loving home.
They each come with an adoption certificate.
