Understory
The understory starts about 60-70 feet above the forest floor. Trees
that make up the understory are palms, trees, and shrubs. Practically
all rain forest animals, birds, and food are located in the understory.
Lots of birds of prey fly between the understory and the canopy to find
food. The antbird is one of those unique birds. The antbird
lives in the lower understory and flies to the forest floor to to eat insects
that live on the ground. The understory is the second layer
of the rain forest and the liveliest of them all.
