4. How can we help? Well, firstly the animals that live in the rain forest, or any forest can survive by people not cutting down their homes. To save and help the elephants we can stop poaching. Same for rhinos. We can help the birds by not stealing their eggs. The least we can do is try.

6. Rainforest facts • Rainforest animals obviously live in the rainforest. • Most animals in the rainforest are endangered because of the rainforest being cut down. • The size of 30 football pitches of forests get cut down a day all over the world and 1/3 of the football pitches is a rainforest.

7. Birds

8. How do birds fly? Birds’ bodies are very highly modified to give them the power of flight. Their bones are hollow to keep them light. Their bodies are extremely light too, allowing them to glide and to fly with the minimum of effort. For example, an eagle with a wing span of more than 2 m weighs less than 4 kg. Birds have air sacs linked to their lungs to provide extra oxygen as they flap their wings. Flying is not just a matter of flapping wings up and down. It is usually a mixture of gliding and powered flight. When the wings are flapped they move in a complicated path, scooping air downwards and backwards. The wings twist so that the air is pushed back in the right direction to provide lift. The wings are twisted again on the forward stroke so that they slide easily through the air and do not slow down the bird’s flight.

9. How far can birds fly? The longest distance regularly travelled by birds is the annual migration of Arctic terns from Arctic to Antarctic. They travel 30,000 km each year. Even the tiny hummingbird is able to travel enormous distances and they have been known to cross the Gulf of Mexico, which is vast distance of 800 km. Hummingbird

10. Vertebrates and invertebrates

11. Molluscs are soft-bodied animals. Some have snail-like shells while others have two shells which are hinged together. Aves is the phylum which contains birds. All birds have feathers, a beak, lay eggs and are warm–blooded. Annelida or worms are a major group of invertebrate animals. Their limbless, tubular body is divided into many segments. Invertebrates Ceolenterata are a group of small animals including sea animals including sea anemones and corals. Most, like jellyfish, live in the sea and have arms covered with stinging sells. They feed on plankton. Arthopoda are animals with jointed legs, such as crustaceans and arachnids. These include scorpions and spiders, and insects. Vertebrates Mammmalia comprise of animals such as tiny mice, elephants and whales. Mammals are warm-blooded and give birth to live young. Reptilia include the lizards, snakes, turtles and crocodiles. All are cold-blooded and have scaly skin. Amphibia return to the water to breed. Their young are larvae that change shape as they become adults. Protozoa are tiny single – celled animals with soft bodies, surrounded by cell membranes. Most are able to swim. Fishes live solely in water. They have scaly skin, and swim using fins. Almost all breathe through gills, taking oxygen from the water.
