Different animals have different adaptations which help them succeed in a tropical rainforest. The clouded leopard, for example, has a spotted coat, which helps it disguise itself in the jungle. This is useful when the animal is hunting, helping it to hide from its prey. Monkeys which reside in the rainforest have adaptations which help it survive in the canopy of the rainforest. Its opposable thumbs, long arms, and prehensile tail help it to move quickly and efficiently through the treetops. A sloth's body is adapted such that it only has to come down from the trees to urinate or deficate once a month, allowing it to stay off of the forest floor and away from predators. A giant anteater has strong claws adapted to breaking open fallen tree trunks, and a very long tongue which allows it to get to hard-to-reach insects which its diet consists of.
