Introduction

A forest is a large area of land that is covered with a thick growth of trees and underbrush. Animals who live in forests thrive because of the unique conditions that exist there. Unfortunately, more and more forests around the world are being cut down for lumber, or for development. As the delicate balance of nature is upset, many forest creatures are pushed into endangerment or into extinction.

Gray wolves, or timber wolves, live in forests and Artie tundra. They make their dens in caves, thickets, and rocky crevices. Hunting in packs, often several wolf families band together. Gray wolves eat deer and wild sheep, but they also prey on livestock such as horses. As a result, gray wolves have been nearly wiped out by angry ranchers.

Insects, mammals, plants, and garbage- black bears eat them all. They weigh about half a pound at birth and can grow to weigh up to 500 pounds. In autumn, black bears slip into caves, and other protected places, to sleep for several months. In 1902, Teddy Roosevelt brought home a wild cub from a hunting expedition for a pet. It became the model for the first stuffed toy teddy bear.

All deer have hoofed feet, but (except for caribou), only males have antlers, which they shed every year. With stomachs that have 4 sections, deer chew their cud, using their blunt teeth to grind slowly what they have already chewed slightly and swallowed. Most common in America are the white-tailed, black­tailed, and mule deer, each weighing up to 400 pounds.

The lynx, a wild cat, is an agile climber and good swimmer. Its broad, furry feet act as snowshoes in winter, so it can move swiftly across the snow. The lynx lives in northern forests and swamps, hunting at night for its favorite prey, the snowshoe hare. Trapped for its fur, the lynx survives in North America only in remote areas.

Woodland caribou, which may grow as large as 600 pounds, have big feet and rounded hoofs. Unique to the deer family, in addition to males, many females have antlers. Caribou live from the northern border of America up to Greenland, in evergreen forests, and spongy wet areas that surround open bodies of water. Their skins are used by indigenous people for food, clothing, and tents.

Foxes are small-to-medium-size canids with a flattened skull, upright triangular ears, a pointed, slightly upturned snout, and a long bushy tail. In the wild, foxes can live for up to 10 years, but most foxes only live for 2 to 3 years due to hunting, road accidents and diseases.

Squirrels are medium to small sized rodents. In general, the hind limbs are longer than the fore limbs, and they have four or five toes on each paw. The eastern gray squirrel is one of very few mammalian species that can descend a tree head­first. It does this by turning its feet so the claws of its hind paws are backward-pointing and can grip the tree bark.

The raccoon is a medium-sized mammal native to North America. Its grayish coat mostly consists of dense underfur which insulates against cold weather. Two of the raccoon's most distinctive features are its extremely dexterous front paws and its facial mask. Raccoons are noted for their intelligence, with studies showing that they are able to remember the solution to tasks for up to three years. The diet of the omnivorous raccoon, and is usually nocturnal.

Chipmunks are small, striped rodents and are found in North America. Chipmunks have an omnivorous diet primarily consisting of seeds, nuts and other fruits, and buds. At the beginning of autumn, many species of chipmunk begin to stockpile nonperishable foods for winter. They mostly cache their foods in a larder in their burrows and remain in their nests until spring. Cheek pouches allow chipmunks to carry multiple food items at a time.

Skunks are mammals known for their ability to spray a liquid with a strong odor. Different species of skunk vary in appearance from black-and-white to brown or cream colored, but all have warning coloration. They have moderately elongated bodies with relatively short, well-muscled legs and long front claws for digging. Skunks are omnivorous, eating both plant and animal material and changing their diets as the seasons change.

Rabbits are small mammals found in several parts of the world. Rabbits are herbivores that feed by grazing on grass, forbs, and leafy weeds. Rabbits are crepuscular, most active at dawn and dusk. As with other prey animals, rabbits often sleep with their eyes open so sudden movements will wake the rabbit and alert it to dangers.

Water dwelling rodents, muskrats live in burrows along river banks or in cone-shaped nests in marshes. They have long, thin, scaly tails, and webbed hind feet. Raised in captivity for their valuable fur, muskrats were accidentally introduced into the wild in Europe when some escaped into the woods. Muskrats eat aquatic plants as well as snails, clams, and frogs.

Badgers are short-legged omnivores in the family Mustelidae. Their lower jaws are articulated to the upper by means of transverse condyles firmly locked into long cavities of the skull. Badgers have rather short, fat bodies, with short legs for digging. They have elongated weasel-like heads with small ears.

Beaver have big, orange front teeth, and long, paddle-like tails. North America's largest rodents, beavers inhabit lakes and streams. To build dams, they gnaw down trees, float the pieces to the dam site, and pack them together with mud. In the ponds that form behind the dams, they constru􀀇t stick lodges. Hunted nearly to extinction for their fur, beavers have been reintroduced in many places.

The porcupine has 30,000 sharp quills loosely attached to its chunky body. Instead of shooting quills to protect itself, as most people imagine, the porcupine turns its back and strikes its enemy with its tail. This large, lumbering rodent, who lives in forests across the United States, sleeps high in trees, climbing through branches at night to eat buds and bark.

The largest type of deer, moose have distinctive upper lips that overhang their lower lips. Males have a "bell" of skin dangling from their throats, and huge, broad antlers that they shed in winter. Living near lakes and ponds in the colder regions of North America, moose have strong legs that enable them to stand in water to eat aquatic plants, to swim, and to run through snow.

Graceful little martens have powerful claws for climbing, and bushy tails for balancing. They inhabit evergreen forests in the western United States and cedar swamps in the East, making their dens in the hollow trees and logs. Night hunters, and their favorite foods include red squirrels and other small mammals. Trapped for their fur for so long martens are now endangered.
