environments?Read how plant and animal life varies in different parts of caves.50Luis Javier Sandoval/Photolibrary In the Mouth of the CaveStepping into a cave is like entering an entirely new world.The environment is suddenly cooler and damper.Though there is some light here,it is dimmer than the light outside.There is a sense of stillness and quiet.This outermost area is called the entrance zone.It is a hallway leading to the many secrets of life in a cave.An animal that uses the entrance zone of a cave belongs to the classification known as trogloxenes.Creatures in this category may seek shelter in caves but don t spend their whole life cycles in them.They also spend time on the surface.Some entrance zone organisms are called accidentals because they often find their way in accidentally.These cave guests stay for a while but not for long.Bats are among the most common trogloxenes.Hanging upside down from a cave s ceiling,they are protected and sleep undisturbed.Bats also hibernate this way during the coldest months.In warm months,bats search for food outside the cave.Other species make use of the entrance zone for protection,too.Pack rats build nests using twigs and leaves from the outside.Their big eyes and long whiskers help in maneuvering through the dim light.Small gray birds called phoebes seek safety inside cave doorways.They make their nests in a compartment,or nook,in the cave walls.These small spaces hide the birds from animals that prey on them.51INTRODUCE Videos Photographs Interactive Graphic Organizersand quiet.trance

Scientists use a classification system based on the environmental layers in a rainforest to talk about the plant and animal species living there.The top,or emergent,layer hosts primates and one-third of the worlds bird species.The shady canopy layer has the most species,including frogs,some birds,and large cats.Reptiles,bats,owls,and broad-leafed plants thrive in the mostly dark understory.Insects,amphibians,and certain large mammals live on the dark,moist forest floor.Tal k About l tTal k About l tWrite words you have learned about the different rainforest environments.Then talk with a partner about why animals might live in a particular layer.47tbd dtifitilit ti tS iSEssential QuestionHow do life forms vary in different environments?Read how animals in the worlds oceans vary,all the way down to the deepest,darkest depths.Genre Expository TextGo Digital!(t c)2002 MBARI;(b)2002 MBARI/NOAA;(tr)Comstock Images/PictureQuest/Getty Images50 Like a spaceship from a distant galaxy,the massive jellyfish hovers in the frigid water.Its meaty dome-shaped bell is as wide as a doorway and the color of a bad bruise.Beneath the bell,fleshy arms twist and sway.The bell contracts,and the jellyfish glides backward.It relaxes,then contracts again.Contract,glide,relax.Contract,glide,relax.With a steady rhythm,the jellyfish pulses through the utter darkness of the deep sea.Until a few years ago,no one even knew that this species,or kind,of jellyfish existed.The scientists from Californias Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute who discovered it nicknamed it Big Red.Big Red jellyfish have probably been living in the deep ocean for hundreds of thousands of years.So why hadnt anyone seen one before?The answer is that even in the twenty-first century,the ocean remains largely unexplored.What we call the Atlantic,Pacific,Indian,Southern,and Arctic oceans are all connected.Together,they form one enormous world ocean that covers about 70 percent of Earths surface.On average,the ocean is 13,123 feet,or 2.5 miles(4,000 meters)deep.We know less about this huge watery kingdom than we do about many planets in our solar system.By Rebecca L.JohnsonBy Rebecca
