A Rainforest has four layers.  The bottom layer is called the Forest Floor.  This level receives barely any sunlight.  Very few plants grow here.  Some of the larger animals live on the forest floor, such as caimans, tapirs, giant anteaters and jaguars.

Here are some jaguars that we made using our hand prints for the body and our finger tips for the leaves.
