  1. Sloth · Slow movement and hanging beneath branches are clues to a sloth.
  2. Toucan · The toucan's large beak helps it reach and pick fruit.
  3. True · Howler monkeys make loud calls that can travel far through the forest.
  4. Macaw · A macaw is a large parrot. Different kinds have different feather colors.
  5. Jaguar · Jaguars often hunt on the forest floor. They can also climb trees.
  6. Stay away; I may be poisonous · Warning colors can discourage other animals from eating a poisonous frog.
  7. Watch from a safe distance without touching it · The lesson gives two safety rules: watch from a safe distance and do not touch frogs. Watching from a safe distance without touching follows both.
  8. Howler monkeys use the canopy · Howler monkeys climb through the canopy, above the forest floor. This gives an animal example that does not fit Leo's claim.
