                                                                             story and shrub. We’ve learned
   that plants and animals are well adapted to the environment in order to survive. For example, the yam plant
   Pete pointed out had waxy leaves to shed water which will help to obtain light for photosynthesis.

   Lianas are cripplers that climb on tall trees to obtain sunlight. Caterpillars have venomous spikes to fend off
   predators. A flying dragon lizard unfolds its ribs to glide from tree to tree.

   Besides that we also carried out surveys to discover the differences between a
   primary forest and a secondary forest.

   We were fortunate enough to visit a mangrove swamp nearby where
   we learnt about the root structure of mangrove trees.

   At the end of the day we carried out questionnaires to determine the                                   level of
   awareness of the rainforest among locals.




                                                                             Well camouflaged caterpillar.

     Liana climbing tall trees.                                              spikes.

  • 1. By ----> Zahir,Maxwell,Syafiq, and Bryan. Today, we went jungle trekking in the tropical rain forest in Tioman is- land. We were led by our respec- tive group biologist, Pete. The weather was sunny and windy which was perfect for this out- door activity. In this eight-hour jungle trekking activity we have seen parts of na- ture that live amongst us. Not only were we exposed to many differ- ent species of plants and animals, we also learned about the unique habitat that they thrive in. As our team biologist Pete pointed out that the rainforest consist of four layers - emergent, canopy, under- story and shrub. We’ve learned that plants and animals are well adapted to the environment in order to survive. For example, the yam plant Pete pointed out had waxy leaves to shed water which will help to obtain light for photosynthesis. Lianas are cripplers that climb on tall trees to obtain sunlight. Caterpillars have venomous spikes to fend off predators. A flying dragon lizard unfolds its ribs to glide from tree to tree. Besides that we also carried out surveys to discover the differences between a primary forest and a secondary forest. We were fortunate enough to visit a mangrove swamp nearby where we learnt about the root structure of mangrove trees. At the end of the day we carried out questionnaires to determine the level of awareness of the rainforest among locals. Well camouflaged caterpillar.
