Cool with fresh crisp air. A perfect day to take out Freddy four wheeler for a ride through the fall leaves. Trees that lose their leaves in the Fall and grow new ones in the Spring are called deciduous. In a deciduous forest you can find lots of different kinds of trees: maple, oak, beech, pine and birch. Deciduous forests grow where there is at least 75cm of rain a year. Snails, slugs, insects, and spiders are common inhabitants of the deciduous forest, and many cold-blooded vertebrates, such as snakes, frogs, salamanders, and turtles are also present. Birds are like warblers, flycatchers, thrushes, woodpeckers, hawks, and owls live there too! Prominent mammals include mice, moles, chipmunks, rabbits, weasels, foxes, bears, and deer.
