Zoology (Animal Life) Squirrels, grizzly bears, raccoons, red fox, cardinal bird are just some of them -squirrels they live in a tree and the tree isn’t harmed, things That eat squirrels are hawks, foxes, eagles, dogs -grizzly bears hibernate during the winter, stash food, likes honey, have to build up their weight by colleting fat ganing forty pounds of fat per week

Geography (Physical Landscape/habitat) • The warmer the temp the more precipitation the cooler the temp the less precipitation • Trees stratum 60-100 feet high • An herb layer of perennial forbs that bloom primarily in early spring • A ground layer of licks, club masses, and true mosses
Meteorology (weather & Human Influence) • Is always changing • Has four distinct seasons: winter, spring, summer, fall • Winter is the coldist and summer the warmist • Between 30 and 60 inchs a year • precipitation in this biome happens year round
