    The emergent level contains the tallest trees in the rainforest with plenty of sunlight, rain and wind. The canopy level contains 60-90% of rainforest life, including overlapping tree branches, leaves and animals such as monkeys and birds. The understory layer is darker, more humid and contains small trees and reptiles. The forest floor is the lowest level with little sunlight where insects and reptiles live in the dark, hot conditions.
