Adaptations•Camouflage•Predator-Prey relationship•Hibernate•Use their environment for their homes,

food, ect.

Economic Issues•Many forests are being cut down to create

restaurants, highways, apartments, and buildings.

•Animals have to struggle to survive when their homes are burnt down.

Symbiosis •Commensalism- squirrels and trees. The

squirrel benefits from the tree(home, food, ect.) and the tree is not harmed nor benifited.

•Parasitism- Parasites feast on deer and other animals in the Deciduous Forest.

•Mutualism- Flowers and bees. The flower gives the bee pollen and the bee spreads the pollen.
