The Emergent Layer


The very top of the rainforest where huge kapok trees grow, cacao and cocoa trees also dominate rainforests although they are not as tall as kapok trees. To the left is a Toucan and above it is a sloth that can also be found on the right side. Sloths usually stay in the canopy but hey, who did say they can't climb all the way to the emergent layer. A Harpy eagle to the left and a Macaw to the right of the mural made this rainforest biome mural captivating. And those cute night monkeys are just awesome to look at.
