Many different species of animals live in the forest including larger animals like big cats, deer, and bears, and smaller animals, such as chipmunks, skunks, and foxes. There are three different types of forests: coniferous forests, characterized by cone-bearing trees like pine and fir, temperate forests, characterized by both cone-bearing trees and deciduous (broad leafed) trees that change color with the seasons, and tropical forests, with abundant rainfall and constantly warm temperatures.

Forests are home to 80% of the earth’s biodiversity and are an important source of oxygen and carbon sequestration. Due to their large amounts of biodiversity and carbon sink abilities, the forests need to be protected. However, due to deforestation for agriculture, logging, and fires, the forests are being destroyed quickly causing many species to lose their home and the loss of essential carbon sinks.

How do forest animals adapt to the changing seasons?

Forest animals adapt to the changing seasons to be able to withstand the cold winters and hot summer temperatures. Forest animals adapt by either hibernating or migrating to warmer weather during the cold. During the warm summer seasons, forest animals typically find an abundance of food and find ways to stay cool.

How do animals help trees?

Animals help trees because they breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide while plants take in carbon dioxide and emit oxygen back into their surrounding air. Plants also serve as food and shelter for animals. Plants rely on animals for seed dispersal and pollination. Plants also help with filtering water that animals drink.

How do forest fires affect animals?

Forest fires affect animals as they alter the 3 sources that animals rely on the most – food, water, and shelter. Forest fires often cause animals to move away from the areas they are used to in search of a new shelter. Forest fires also cause deaths among animals through smoke inhalation or fire-caused injuries.

Stegosaurus (Stegosaurus stenops)
Size comparison drawing of the Stegosaurus compared to a person

Stegosaurus (Stegosaurus stenops) would have been easily identified by the distinctive upright kite-shaped armor on their backs and tail with spikes. Its fossils were found in Portugal and the western USA, and it is believed to be an herbivore with four legs. The hind limbs were longer than the forelimbs and the back was round. Generally, it had a heavily built profile with a tail that was held high in the air. The short neck, small head, and shape of forelimbs suggest it ate shrubs or low-lying plant matter. This animal lived about 155 million years ago.

The Stegosaurus had an overall length between 21.3’-30’ (6.5-9.1 m), overall standing height of 10.8’-14.8’ (3.3-4.5 m), body width of 3.9’-5.9’ (1.2-1.8 m), and weight from 6,800-8,400 lb (3,100-3,800 kg). The typical lifespan of the Stegosaurus was between 75-100 years.

Short-Faced Bear (Arctodus)
Comparison illustration of the size of a Short-Faced Bear to an average human

The Short-Faced Bear (Arctodus sp.) is a genus of extinct bears that lived in North America from approximately 11,000 years earlier in the Pleistocene period. It was the earliest North American bear and the largest in California. The bear could run up to 40 miles an hour and scare off or threaten other competitors from prey. To survive, the Short-Faced Bear has been estimated to have had to eat 35 pounds of meat each day. The Short-Faced Bear would weigh 2,000 pounds, for comparison, a male grizzly weighs approximately 600 pounds.

Male Short-Faced Bears had a shoulder height between 5’-6’ (1.52-1.83 m )and a weight in the range of 1750-2200 lb (794-998 kg). The shoulder heights of females were between 4’-5’ (1.22-1.52 m) with weights from 650-900 lb (295-408 kg). The Short-Faced Bear had an overall body length of roughly 6’9”-9’6” (2.06-2.9 m) and an upright standing height of 8’-12’ (2.5-3.66 m).

Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis)
Comparison illustration of the size of a Grizzly Bear to an average human

The Grizzly Bear (Ursus Arctos Horribilis) is a subspecies of the brown bear with a large population. The Grizzly Bear came from Europe and Asia, but can only be found today in North America and Canada. The Grizzly Bear has brown fur throughout its body, but golden and grey fur is on the back of its body and gives it a squatting look. The diet of Grizzly Bears contains fish (primarily salmon), moose, bison, and black bear while also including seeds, fruit, and a variety of leaves. Due to ruthless widespread hunting, the numbers of wild Grizzly Bears have decreased dramatically in the 1970s and 1980s. However, it has increased recently because of certain laws on bear-hunting.

Male Grizzly Bears have a shoulder height between 3’6”-4’6” (1.07-1.37 m) and a weight in the range of 400-800 lb (181-363 kg). The shoulder heights of females are between 3’-3’8” (.91-1.12 m) with weights from 300-400 lb (136-181 kg). The Grizzly Bear has an overall body length of roughly 5’6”-8’ (1.68-2.44 m), standing height of 8’-9’9” (2.5-3 m), and a typical lifespan of 20-25 years in the wild or up to 45 years when protected in captivity.

Texas Coral Snake (Micrurus tener)
Dimensioned comparison drawing of the Texas Coral Snake compared to other snakes

The Texas Coral snake (Micrurus tener) may have the second strongest venom, however, poor delivery of the poison makes it rarely ineffective. The snake is native to the Southern United States and is a member of the family Elapidae; usually shy, secretive, and highly unpredictable with the ability to swing around and bite when grasped. They are nocturnal, oviparous, but no pit vipers. They are small, vibrantly colored, and prefer woodland and densely forested areas. The Texas Coral snakes have rounded heads and smooth dorsal scales. Their larger, longer, and stouter bodies separate them from the Eastern Coral snake.

The Texas Coral Snake has an overall length between 2’-4’ (.61-1.22 m), body width of roughly .4”-1” (1-2.5 cm), and weight from 2-5 lb (.9-2.3 kg). The typical lifespan of the Texas Coral Snake is between 7-15 years.

Japanese Badger (Meles anakuma)
Illustrated comparison diagram of the Japanese Badger compared to similar Mustelid species

The Japanese Badger, Meles anakuma, is a carnivorous species of the Mustelidae family. They are unique to Japan and found on woodland and forest habitats of Hunshi, Kyushu, Shikoku, and Shodoshima. The Japanese badger is smaller than their European counterparts; their front feet have powerful digging claws, and the face has characteristic black-white stripes. They are solitary, as they do not form social clans, and they are nocturnal animals that hibernate during the coldest months of the year. Like other badgers, the Japanese badger has an omnivorous diet that includes earthworms, beetles, berries, and persimmons.

The Japanese Badger has a body length in the range of 27.6”-32.7” (70-83 cm) and total weight of 8.4-24.3 lb (3.8-11 kg). Japanese Badgers have a shoulder height between 12.6”-15” (32-38 cm), body width of 8.7”-10.2” (22-26 cm), and tail length of 5.5”-7.9” (14-20 cm). The typical lifespan of the Japanese Badger is between 10-20 years.
