0

Rainforests are some of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet; they are also among the oldest, having appeared shortly after the end of the last Ice Age. Due to their age and environment, animal species flourish.CompetitionFood and shelter are surprisingly scarce in the rainforest for many animals, so competition is fierce. Animals that find a way to survive reproduce and become more common.Symbiotic RelationshipsMany animals in the rainforest have adapted and evolved to form symbiotic relationships; for example, the Brazil nut tree is dependent on the agouti to spread its seeds, as only the agouti has teeth capable of opening the seed pods produced by the tree. In this process, the agouti gets food and the Brazil nut trees continue growing.Niche SpeciesA niche species is a type of animal or plant that can exist only under certain specific circumstances regarding food and habitat; rainforests, because of their food supply and ecological system, are home to many niche species.Self-D
