- Trees adapt by growing taller to reach sunlight, giving them a survival advantage.
- Shorter plants adapt by learning to live in shade with less sunlight.
Animal Adaptations in the Forest
- Monkeys have long tails, used like an extra hand, to swing through trees quickly while holding babies or gathering food.
- Giraffes have long necks, an adaptation to reach leaves at the tops of tall trees.
