Rain Forests: Under the Canopy

Allison has to give a report about rain forests at school. Chris and Martin help out by showing her what the rain forests are really like from an insider's perspective. In Costa Rica, they find tapirs, sloths, monkeys and dozens of fascinating creatures, including leaf-cutter ants who grow their own food in huge underground gardens. But the guys have a few problems along the way, slipping down a mud slide and getting chased up a tree by white-lipped peccaries, the wild pigs of the forest. By the time Allison is ready to give her report, she understands why rain forest preservation is critical to the survival of the planet, and to all those amazing creatures we met in the wild.
