Rainforest Animals
Name and recognise iconic rainforest animals — jaguars, toucans, sloths, poison dart frogs, howler monkeys, macaws, and butterflies — and know which layer of the rainforest each lives in
What a learner can do afterwards
- Name at least five iconic rainforest animals such as jaguars, toucans, sloths, poison dart frogs, and howler monkeys
- Match at least three animals to the rainforest layer where they live (e.g. monkeys in the canopy, jaguars on the forest floor)
- Describe one distinctive feature of each named animal
The lesson
The rainforest is full of amazing animals. Each animal picks its favorite layer to live in.
Zara walks on the forest floor. She spots a jaguar hiding in the shadows. A howler monkey roars from the canopy above.
Bright colors can be a warning in the rainforest. A poison dart frog's bright skin says stay away.
Animals look different and live in different rainforest layers.
