Animals In The Rainforest

     


          Wagler's pit viper are one of many strong animals. I live in trees of the Southeast Asian rainforest. The climate in the rainforest is wet and humid and it rains a lot. During the wet season, or monsoon season, it usually rains every day. i'm medium sized viper which can grow up to four feet in length. I'm carnivore. That means that I eat other animals. I hunt at night. The adult feeds on lizards, birds, and rodents. Snakes in the tropics don't need to use food energy to keep myself warm. Snakes can also get all the energy that I need with just three meals a month. I called a pit viper because I have pits just behind the nostrils which contain special organs that can sense heat and locate warm-blooded animals. I lie up against the roof of the mouth and shoot out when the viper strikes. I will be sad if my home destroyed, but I live in trees , so I will find another home. Maybe I will live with other Waglers if there is no home. My food always the animals like lizards, birds, and rodents. And I can't live without the rainforest, beacase I live in the trees and my food are the animals who live in the rainforest.
