The forest floor is the most distinctive and firstmost storey of the
rainforest! It is often dark and humid, with lots of shade, due to the
canopy leaves above. This is why it is home to a plethora of
decomposers, such as ferns, fungus, terites, scorpions and moss.
However, a very fascinating species of frogs that lives on the forest
floor is the Poison Dart Frog!
Poison Dart Frogs
The Poison Dart Frog, also known as the arrowhead frogs, live in the
forest floor. They can be heard calling their attratc their mates, as
they have a well-devolped vocal structure. Ths is why they are able to
be indentified by their calls. Furthermore, their diet consists of ants
and termites, which they capture with their tounge. Their tounge, is
sticky and retratable, making it easy for them to scoop the animals off
of the forest floor. Not to mention, the frogs are able to live for up
to 20 years.
