Animals In The Rainforest Food Chain

To unlock this lesson you must be a study.

Animals in the rainforest food chain. For example, in the rain forest food chain to the left, the arrow leads from the figs to the sloth, from the sloth to the jaguar, and so on. The toucan would probably die and then the boa, the animal that eats the toucan, would probably also die because it wouldn’t have any toucans to eat. The arrows show the flow of energy.

Your kids will learn while engaging with their imagination and creativity as well. Birds of the tropical rain forest are known for their bright color, such as parrots, macaws and toucans. Plants use the sun’s energy to make their own food, while animals eat plants or other animals.

Each link in a food chain is important. The plants in the rainforest play an important role in the rainforest food chain as well. Think of it this way:

The food chain in the daintree ecosystem will be strongly impacted by the increase of urbanisation due to the deforestation of the land that people are building on causing the habitats of the animals to be destroyed and the animals having to move to find food and shelter.

Animals and plants get the energy they need from their food.

They eat a variety of foods, including seeds, plants and even small animals. An important link in the food chain of the tropical rainforest, birds spread seeds around the forest as they fly, adding to the diversity and richness of the forest. For example, if all of the ants in the rainforest died then everything that eats the ant would be hungry.

A network of many food chains is called a food web. Most children respond better to new information when it is introduced in a familiar way, and these coloring pages are perfect for that! Decomposers or detrivores also are part of this food chain.
