...frogs. Very brightly coloured frogs.
We learned that RED EYED TREE FROGS like to camouflage themselves just like the snakes. They tuck up their red feet & close their eyes. This means the insects they like to eat can't see them coming. And their predators find it hard to spot them too. But... when they get a fright... they flash their red eyes and feet so they surprise their predators and have time to get away. Cool eh?
We also learned that POISON ARROW FROGS are very brightly coloured to let their predators know that they are are poisonous.
Frogs live in the UNDERSTORY most of the time. Except... well... sometimes they go to the CANOPY but you'll have to come back next week to find out why!!!
In the meantime, check out these amazing facts and creative stories about our rainforest from some really clever authors.

Emergent, canopy, Understory, forest floor. These are the four layers of the rainforest.
by Mykee
The emergent trees stick out so not much rain and sun can get in. The rainforest smells like nature.

Hi Room 3
I am learning lots about the rainforest from your blog. The poisonous frogs sound rather dangerous. I'm glad we don't have them in our forests! Keep up the great work.
