Forest floor
In this layer lives ants spiders
ladybird . In this layer it is very
stinky and muddy. Over 750 of
species of animals live in this
stinky layer. It is full of dead leaves
twigs. The forest floor is
approximately 5 foot in the air. It

and plants hardly ever even grow
12 feet but most of the plants are
about maybe 4 or 6 foot . U cant

layers.
Much of the rain is stopped by thick
foliage. Most of the biggest grow
up to the canopy layer
