hey guys so i have this ecology project about the ” Rain forest ” and the paper says i need to pick some populations ( either a plant or animal or both ) then i have to research the habitat, community, niche, limmiting factors, and adaptation features.
but i really dont know what to choose !!!! i wanted to choose the slender loris but i didnt find lots of info about it. can someone please find me a plant and another animal ( but if you found a website that has enough information for the slender loris could you please give the link )
THANKYOU SO SO SO SO SO MUCH X_X PLEASE PLEASE TRY TO HELP I NEED TO HAND THIS IN NEXT WEEK : (
