Rainforest WebQuest

The rainforest is very important to many different animals living in the rainforest. The rainforest is a place that is very dense, wet, and warm. The animals that live in the rainforest rely on the forest to be a place to call home. Also, the plants in the rainforest give off oxygen, which is good for the earth's environment.

1. Read the information about the different animals in the rainforest.

2. Take as much time as you need to keep reading through the webquest.
