Wildlife Trees Forestry
This animal hunts squirrels, mice, rabbits, birds, and many other small animals. It communicates
through yaps, barks, whines, and howls. You may have seen some of
it’s scat on your tour.
A coyote
This animal is native to Northwest
woodlands. It has green blood, and more
teeth than a shark!
A banana slug
This animal is the largest rodent in North America. It’s teeth are continually growing,
so it gnaws on trees to keep them from growing too long. You may see it swimming,
if it’s not asleep in it’s dam.
A beaver
This animal lives in tree cavities, in fact you might find one in a snag. It’s a bird that hunts at night. It’s favorite food is the flying squirrel. You might recognize
it’s familiar hooting sound.
A Northern Spotted Owl
This animal will gnaw on old bones and antlers for calcium, but it’s favorite food is
young tree bark. It will climb high on narrow branches to eat leaves, buds, and twigs. A flick from it’s tail can be very dangerous!
A porcupine
This is a deciduous tree with oval, serrated leaves. It’s grey and white bark looks like many things, including clouds in the

Washington. It’s branches grow upward toward the

cambium layer.
