Day 3 of 5

 The third day was very hot, no rain, and barely any breeze. As i was exploring around and observing the plant life i saw a strangler fig wrapped around a tree. The development of the fig had already escalated to a high point, below is a picture.

  Soon the tree will die due to the strangler fig, an example of parasitism. After observing the tree i moved on to study the rest of the plant life. I noticed that the trees are formed in layers, the shrub layer, the under storey, canopy layer, and the emergent layer.
