The rainforest is a big forest with a lot of trees and animals.

ANIMALS: There are jaguars, tree frogs, caimans, toucans, snakes,monkeys, sloths, parrots, big beautifull butterflies, hummingbirds, beetles, ants, and even bats!

PLANTS: kapok trees, ferns, bamboo, orchids. there are very few rainforests left. Humans distroy the rainforest . Equally stunning but perhaps less familiar examples include the harpy, the word's largest eagle ; the pygmy marmoset, wich is the smallest of all monkeys and the giant aristolochia (a-ris-tah-LOH-kee-ah).

Once upon a time lived ants they worried and worried so much about there friend butterfly who went to take food for them.One day the queen said
"We should go find butterfly"

"Yes yes "said the others.

So finally they found a big strange green thing they wondered what it was.

"Hello ants how are you"said the green thing.

"W...w...w...what...a...a...a...are...y...y...y...you?" shivered the ants.
"What am I ,I'm a frog a tree frog hohoho hehehe hihi"answered the frog.
"Can you help us. We are looking for butterfly?"asked the ants.

So they looked and looked until they found a parrot!

"Ak what do you want?"asked the parrot.
"Well we would like to look for a ...butterfly"said the ants just as they saw him.
"Ak well hmmmm...ok"said the parrot.

So walked and walked finally they wanted to rest a little while.While they were sleeping a big snake twirled up around the parrot!finally one of the ants woke-up.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"screamed the ant.
"Snake snake aaaaaaaaah"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH PLEASE DONT EAT ME PLEASE"screamed the parrot.
"Ok but then you HAVE to tell me WHAT to eat"said the snake.
"M...a...y... y...o...u.. .p...l...e...a...s...e... h...e...l...p... u...s?"asked the ants.
"Ok little guys, what are you looking for ?"said the snake.
"We are looking for butterfly"said the ants .
"We should go to my friend boa."said the snake.

So they just walked till they found boa."SSSSSSSS what would you like?"

So they walked and walked and found monkey."Hello"said the monkey.

"Hello"said the ants.
"We would like you to help us find butterfly please"said the ants.
"Of course"said the monkey.

So they walked until they found a big giant lake.

"How are we going to go over it ?"asked the ants.

"I can help"said the bird.
"I'm a toucan "said the toucan.
"You can?"asked the ants.
"Of course I can, the parrot can help too, come on my back and fly"said the toucan.

"A CAIMAN! "screamed an ant.He tried to wake every one up but they were too tired!
"Hello little one.What are you looking for ?"asked the caiman.
"Well ,butterfly"said the ant. Everyone woke-up.

So they walked and walked and saw a jaguar.They stared and stared.

"May you please help us" asked the ants.
