This display demonstrates the delicate interrelationship between aquatic and terrestrial plants and animals in a rain forest ecosystem. It includes tree frogs, anoles, newts and a mud skipper, which may climb or wander through the plants, ferns and rocks on the land area. In the fresh water lake portion, gold fish and guppies exist. Chirping of two love birds in an adjoining acrylic habitat adds background sound to the display. Most of the animals are simulations; they're not exotic. It gives the students the opportunity to manage something that represents what they have learned from a textbook.
