  4. Animals Many well-known animals live in this kind of forest. Some examples are the squirrels, foxes, wolves, bears, deer, raccoons, and mice and large birds like hawks. These animals have special adaptations for seasonal life. Some birds the bald eagle, hawks, blue jays, great horned owls, cardinals and the snowy owl.
