How do the animals survive in the forest? The animals use the tall trees and understory for shelter, hiding places from their predators, and a source of food. Because there are so many animals competing for food, many animals have adapted by learning to eat a particular food eaten by no other animal. Forests are home to about 80% of life on earth. Animals, big and small, depend on healthy forests, which provide them with the fruits, nuts and plants they need to thrive. In turn, humans depend on those very animals to spread the seeds of the plants they have eaten, which helps fertilize the soil. Wild animals such as lions, tigers, snakes, elephants, etc. live in forest because they get adequate amount of food there, forests are full of tress and animals. This trees provide them shelter, food and peace. If they would live in cities, they will not get adequate amount of food, they wouldn't get shelter and peace.

An average of 137 species of life forms are driven into extinction every day in the world's tropical rainforests. The forces of destruction such as logging, cattle ranching have all contributed to the loss of millions of acres of tropical rainforest. Animals and people alike lose their homes when trees are cut down. The main modern causes of extinction are the loss and degradation of habitat (mainly deforestation), over exploitation (hunting, overfishing), invasive species, climate change, and nitrogen pollution.
