Question

Most animals are tree-dwellers in a
A. Temperature deciduous forest
B. Tropical rainforest
C. Coniferous forest
D. Thorn woodland

Answer 1

Hint: Tree dwellers refer to those animals which live or have made their habitat in the plants to survive. As the animal lives in the tree, for this the forest should have proper temp and surrounding atmosphere which would sustain their lives up in the trees.

Complete answer:
The forest where the animals would sustain their lives should have a proper temperature and should provide an ample amount of sunlight and rainfall. And also the trees if the forest should be well stratified. Stratification refers to the vertical distribution of different species occupying different levels according to the extent they are developed.
Out of the given four options, the suitable forest for an animal to survive in is the Tropical RainForest. As because the climatic conditions of this forest are hot and moist and it also receives regular rainfall. The tropical rainforest also has a high canopy. This high canopy is generally at a height of 45m from ground level and also consists of a dense ceiling of leaves and tree branches formed by closely spaced evergreen trees. Along with all these properties the animals also get proper food and shelter to many animals, reptiles, birds and even different snakes. This forest is suitable for settling habitat.
When we look at other options such as Temperate Deciduous Forest. This forest has an increasing amount of carbon dioxide emission. Also, it has high soil erosion which reduces the forest cover, thus not suitable for animals to live in.
The Coniferous Forest is also not a suitable forest just because these trees have pine cones and the tannins in the needles are acidic in nature which leads to leaching of soil. And it has a low temperature so only very few animals can dwell in it.
Thorn Woodland is also not a suitable place for animals to live in because this forest is not well stratified. It only has scrub level vegetation which makes it unsuitable for animals to survive.

So, Option B (Tropical rainforest) is the appropriate answer.

Additional Information: Tropical rainforests have no dry season. This also receives optimum rainfall throughout the year. This forest is also the home to many birds and animals. Mainly located between the latitudes of 23.5°N (the Tropic of Cancer) and 23.5°S (the Tropic of Capricorn)—the tropics.

Note:
As though we now realise that the tropical rain forest is suitable for animals, does not mean that we should conserve only the rain forest and cut down the other forests. All the forests are suitable and important for all of us whether it has a suitable environment or not.
