9 The rainforests of Borneo

OLLIE'S MISSION NOTES THE RAINFORESTS OF BORNEO Borneo is the world's third-largest island. Its rich, tropical rainforests are bursting with life and are home to thousands of unique plant and animal species. RAINFOREST STRUCTURE Rainforests are split into four layers, and each one contains different plants and animals. Generally speaking, most animals stay within one layer.

婆罗洲的热带雨林婆罗洲是世界第三大岛屿。 它丰富的热带雨林生机勃勃，是数千种独特动植物的家园。 热带雨林分为四层，每一层都有不同的植物和动物。 一般来说，大多数动物都住在一层。

EMERGENT LAVER At the top of a rainforest, the tallest trees poke out into the sunlight. Many tropical birds make their homes here. CANOPY From monkeys and bats to lizards and snakes, the canopy is the layer of the rainforest that is filled with most life. UNDERSTORY The understory is shady and dry. It's home to many smaller trees and shrubs, as well as frogs, snakes, ants, and termites. FOREST FLOOR The forest floor is dark and damp, making it the perfect habitat for insects and insect-eating mammals.

在热带雨林的顶端，最高的树木伸向阳光。 许多热带鸟类在这里安家。 从猴子和蝙蝠到蜥蜴和蛇，树冠层是雨林的一层，里面充满了大多数生命。 林下植被阴凉干燥。 这里有许多较小的树木和灌木，还有青蛙、蛇、蚂蚁和白蚁。 森林地面阴暗潮湿，是昆虫和食虫哺乳动物的完美栖息地。
