Precipitation
in the temperate deciduous forest falls throughout the year. However, during
the winter months it is usually frozen and less is available for animals
to drink. Animals living within this biome must adjust to cold winters
and hot summers by hibernating, migrating, or keeping active all winter.
Leaves fall off trees here in the fall, leaving animals with less cover
to hide themselves from predators.
The information and pictures about these animals are taken
from the Multimedia Animals Encyclopedia.
