Plant Adaptations

As I'm sitting here enjoying the Rainforest oxygen bar, I'm reflecting on amazing plant survival strategies. Many of the plants that are low to the ground have large sized leaves stretching toward the sun. Can you see the large leaves on the trunk of this spiky palm? Speaking of spikes, we have to look before we touch the trunks of trees! Notice the huge spikes on the white Kapok tree. The spikes protect the trunk from hungry peccaries.
