These plants have their roots in the ground and use other trees to climb up into the rainforest canopy to maximise the sunlight they receive. Many start life in the canopy before sending roots down to the ground

Epiphytes

These plants live on the surface of other plants, mostly tree trunks and branches. This allows them to make the most of the sunlight in the canopy layer

Chimps are tree dwellers but spend much of their time foraging for food on the ground. Chimpanzees mainly eat fruit but will eat a variety of things including: nuts, buds, blossoms, honey, bark; and, occasionally small game animals. When chimps forage, they move around a lot and rarely stay in one place for very long. This is good for the ecosystem. It allows for that part of the forest to recover before the chimps return
