Forest arrays are deservedly called the lungs of our planet. Shrub and trees growing in them are not only saturated with oxygen air, but also serve as a native home for a huge number of animals, birds and insects.

Extending south of the territory is busy extensive taiga forestscovering the northern regions of the Earth. The length of this peculiar belt reaches 12,000 km. He affects Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and Siberia. So-called boreal forests consist mainly of evergreen trees (pines, firings). They grow in them and larches, dropping the needles before the onset of winter. Earth ripen lichens, mosses and herbs. The undergrowth is quite rare.

Coniferous forests are abounding and glades - a favorite places of Ryabchikov and degrades. These species of birds spend the predominant part of life on Earth. Here they nest and engage in the upbringing of chicks. Under the crowns, fiels found the shelter, siny and cedishment. In the northern forests there are several types of dyatlov (three-pailed, black (desalted), small motley, big motley). The likelihood of a meeting with a borogol gaughter, cushs and a hussy owl is great.

The cold climate of Taiga affected the wrinkle of the blast. Feeded by seeds of coniferous trees The bird has a unique beak, which crocheted hooked ends of which are ideally adapted to extract seeds from cones. You can see the blast outside of the coniferous forest only with a shortage of food.

He is a representative of the kunih family. The animal resembling a little bear differs from the terrible host of the taiga by the presence of a fluffy long tail. The owner of strong teeth and long claws comes on the hunt both in the day and at night, preferring the most impassable agents. There are no cases when a bold animal attacked bears and wolves and selected prey with them.

Throughout the summer and early autumn, proteins are engaged in collecting mushrooms, seeds and nuts. The accumulated reserves are stored in woody voupels or buried to the ground. From the reptiles are found boronous lizards, ordinary curses and ordinary viper.

The chipmuncture body is a bit larger than the protein. Along the back you can count 5 black stripes. The owners of coniferous forests, gary, cutting down and shrubbing thickets, beveling with a dog, attracted the owner of well-developed grazed bags. A promnial animal seems to be created for lasagna in trees. Special praise deserve jumps, performed as down and up head.

The species diversity of the taiga is significantly wider than the tundra. In addition to wolves and chips, there are found, sobols and foxes. Bars, hedgehogs and small rodents have fallen into the list of typical representatives (including red and red-gray fields). A group of hoofs is represented by roasons and elms, northern and noble deer. In the water bodies build their warts of beavers. What is interesting to those found in Eurasia are characteristic of North American Taiga. Endemics should be noted by skuns and musky rat (ondatru). Forest bridges graze in the reserves. From those living in Eurasia, the gigids are the greatest power demonstrate the bison, several decades ago were on the verge of a complete disappearance.

Virgin Filin is called a night hunter. The owner of excellent hearing and vision chose the forests of North America. The main part of the diet of the pennate predator is mouse and small mammals. The exotic inhabitants of forests can be attributed to a dikiform in the forests of the USA and Canada. The list of food preferences of this animal includes deciduous plants and lob (tender pulp of trees trunks). Hard long needles protect the dickery from enemies.

IN mixed forests Badgers, hedgehogs, foxes, hares, squirrels, moose, roasted feel perfectly. Some fans of deciduous forests are often justified here, incl. and boys. Irsior animals hiding from unauthorized eyes prefer a night feed.

For the brown bear, the title of the largest forest predator, inhabiting in the forest zones of North America, Asia and Europe, including the Caucasus and Siberia, was fixed. Despite this, Kosolapi do not refuse from other delicacies (nuts, berries, fish, etc.). Are found in coniferous-deciduous forests and less overall predators (wolves, cunits, ferrets). On the gari and old cutting, as well as the edges of the mixed forest can be seen a fox. The color of the medium in size of the predator ranges from yellow-gray to reddish-orange. The tip of the tail and the chest is painted in white.

Zayak-Skin - Masking Wizard. In the summer, its wool has a brown or reddish-brown shade. In the winter months, the animal goes into a snow-white coat. Lovers of vegetation can be met in the forest areas of Asia, North America and Eastern Europe.

To the life of B. mixed forests Well adapted and badgers. The predators of the average size prefer to justify in the armor and forest ravines. In terms of them and forest edges. Noras are used as housing. The raccoon dog moves on short paws. On her face there is a drawing, resembling a black mask. The owner of fluffy and long wool shares in mixed forests. In her behavior, the love of gentle slopes, armor and wetlands of rivers are clearly traced. An active animal at night does not only run quickly, but also goes fine. Its diet includes small rodents, insects, fish, berries and plants.

IN mixed forests You can detect significant populations of moles. Large views of animals dwell underground. Earth worms, insects and larvae speak as food.

Bird brethren is represented by nightingales, tips, singer stuffing, who announces the forest thickening of the incomplete singing not only in spring, but also at the beginning of summer. Early spring demonstrate their singing talents and starlings. Bright plumage is a distinctive feature of chaffins. Universally common in all types of forests, birds include owls, forty, cuckoo and woodpeckers. Glukhary in mixed forests are not found. The liberated niche was taken by Tetherov. Up and down the trees will join the crawls, clinging to the trunks.

These birds most often equip the nests in the duples heated. Drozd-Rubbinnik got his nickname for love for rowan berries. Representatives of this species and the fruits of crash, viburnum and hawthorn refuse. In the spring and summer, the thrushes are torn by worms, mollusks and insects. Chizhi can be seen in those places where alder and birch grow. In the fall of the edge in the fall, they do not fly away. Feed on seeds extracted from olhovy cones and birch earrings.

The attack of the hawk-wellness man is always unexpected. Makes His predator with a cheat. Not only TETEREV, but also ripples sleeping on the branches of birds, dinner on the trees whites and even hares are falling into his sharp claws. Pest rodents successfully exterminate such feathered predators like Kestrel, Lun, Owl and Kanyuk.

For wide forests Many animals found in mixed arrays: brown bears, forest cats, minks, squirrels, caress, black chore, forest cunits, several varieties of Song. Among the pointed representatives are the most numerous motifs and green woods, finches, forestry larks, organizes, tits, nightingales, singers and black frills, flutters, foams, foam, cuckoo.

From the southern regions in wide forests Some steppe inhabitants (gray partridges, hamsters, hares - Rusaki are penetrated. Reptiles are represented by novelty and green lizards, ordinary viper, copper, shields and spruce. From the amphibians, Kwaksha, Ostroyordy and herbal frogs, Tritons took place.

Geographically, the zone of mixed forests occupies a territory between the tundra and the region of subtropics. Here we grow like coniferous trees - pines, larchs, ate and deciduous - beech, chestnuts, birch. The undergrowth, formed by a thick shrub, is often difficult, and under the trees of snow is less than allowing the beasts to find a bit of food here. Some of the animals inhabiting here lie in a hibernation, others overcome long distances in search of food.

Winter in the forest.

In winter, cold, snow and short days prevent the growth and blossom of herbs and shrubs. Many herbivores, experiencing a shortage of food, move in the field with a softer climate. Some animals prepare their holes dug in the ground or arranged in natural deepens (dupes, caves) to fall into a long sleep (hibernation), which will last all winter months, interrupting only brief awakening. Many holes are filled with food collected in the summer, but sometimes animals are enough and subcutaneous fat accumulated during the warm season, which allows them to survive long winter. There are in the forest and such inhabitants who do not go anywhere from hidden places and do not fall into hibernation: they find me impregnate in thick thickets, where less than snow.

Many animals fill their holes with acorns and other edible reserves.

In the spring and summer, the hares feed on young shoots, roots and gentle grass, and in the winter they can be satisfied with the bark of shrubs and small trees.

In winter, the forest seems uninhabited, but in fact he is full of life. Mammals and reptiles and amphibians only hugged in their noras, where in hibernation they spend cold winter in anticipation of the spring awakening of nature.

The badger holds the winter in the hole underground. Young usually stay with your mother, but they can hide in their own mink.

Canadian forests and groves.

In the north of the American continent there is Canada, a large country rich in forests. As you move north, you can see as deciduous trees I give up the place of coniferous, more resistant to harsh winter cold.

Basically, carnivore animals live in these areas: Fox Ordinary and Silver-Black, Wolves, Wolverine, as well as bears, who often attack other animals, although they are mainly fed.

The northern part of Canada is very extensive and unclosed. Here is a bad message and a harsh climate: only three months in the year the temperature rises to + 10 0 s, and only during this period, nature wakes up. The rest of the year with difficulty piercing vegetation is food of herbivores. Lakes, rivers and the sea are filled with ice. In such conditions, only a few animals lead a settling lifestyle. The main mass migrates moves with the onset of autumn south.

Everyone has long known that the forest is "light" of our planet. It is the forest that purifies air and feeds it with oxygen, and also protect the earth from drought. Describe all the benefits that forests bring us in a nutshell is quite difficult. It is impossible to imagine anything more delicious than a walk through the sunny, light birch glade or on a fabulous, mysterious fry. The forest is a place where animals live, birds, insects. Animals living in the forest are perfectly getting on one territory, despite the fact that among them there are harmless beasts, and there are predators.

Forest animals of Russia

From Eurasia to North America, extensive taiga, coniferous forests, who are not terributed, nor crazy heat are terrible. There are fir, pines, larchs, cedars, and underground moss and herbs are green. In these forests, the present expanse for avid mushrooms. Since they are rich in berries and mushrooms. In Taiga Forests, you can see a sable, a cunita, breeding, through the bushes of shrubs, a shaggy Wolverine, a hare running away from the wolf, as well as the fox. Many animal forests of Russia, prefer to live in the most common, as the poachers have already mastered the outskirts and scared them with their shots. In secluded places, bears laid on the winter hibernation.

You can find moose or deer. Especially beautiful autumn in mixed forests. Trees dress in yellow, red, orange outfits. They seem to be looked into the golden shawls. In the air hovers the smell of the fool. And if you look at the sky, then you can notice the keys of birds that fly into the warm edges. Only this does not mean at all that in the winter season there are at all no birds. The title was called the tit, fun jumping on the branch of Krasnogrudoy, \u200b\u200bFast Snegiri. This is only at first view the forest seems asleep and deserted. In order to find out what animals in a mixed forest usually live, you just need to carefully look around.

Raccoon

Raccoons are peculiar and interesting animals. They are wrapped in thick, long and fluffy fur, and on the face black strip between the eyes. Raccoats are not at all afraid of water and swim wonderfully. They love to catch fish, crabs and crayfish. Probably the most popular among raccoons is raccoon poloskun. He got his nickname for the fact that before eating food, longly wrinkles it in water. By nature, raccoons are quite curious. Racoses prefer not to gather in flocks, but exceptions serve as a place where a lot of food. With the onset of winter, raccoons are hiding in mink or hollow and sleep. And when spring comes, then small young people appear, which for a whole 2 months will not come out of the hole. They are under the care of parents for a whole year.

Hedgehog

Jersey are dressed in a coat of sharp, prickly needles. She protects them from all the attackers. Already taking into account the danger, hedgehogs, instantly turn into a small spiny tangle. But when it is safe, the world is a smart face with a black nose and eye beads. Jerzy puffed, snatch and make funny sounds. During the day, they sleep, clogging into a mink, and in the evening they are looking for food. In the fall, the hedgehog eat a lot and poisoned with fat for winter hibernation. Then they dig up under himself a mink, demolish the leaves there, the grass and go to bed. In the spring, small hedgehogs appear on the light. They have soft needles similar to wool. But so far, the kids will not grow up, they are not going to move away from Mom. Herage is very helpful. They exterminate harmful insects, and mice.

Elk

Peering, what animals live in the forest, you will certainly notice the moose. He has a massive, big body, and on it is a patch, quite similar to hump. The body is covered with thick, warm wool, which protects against frosts. These animals have a very well developed rumor. Losi can run quickly, and if necessary and swim or even dive. The moose head is decorated wide, big horns. In winter, animals drop their main decoration, and in the summer they grow new. The moose is very bold and strong. They are not afraid of any wolves nor bears. Spring at mom-losi appear young. Moose amazing animals.

Mangoste

Mangoshos have a flexible, long body, on which the head is located with ears. They are slightly reminded by a cunita or a cat. Separating to the mining, the mangoste, bends all the body. Its wool is practically merged with thick thickets. Due to the dexterity, the rapid reaction and courage, the mangoste is protected from enemies. The animals live in long nora or in thickets. There and appear on the light of the kids. Mongoshos live, mostly families, and dad-mangoshoust is responsible for the upbringing of children. In case of danger, the young protects the whole family.

Deer

Not all animals living in the forest are allocated by their beauty or power. But this statement is absolutely not concerned with deer. They are beautiful and stronger, and noble. Like the moose, their heads are decorated with branched horns. Deer has a well developed ear and smell. Deer live on mountain slopes, in thickets of shrubs, or in glades with thick grass. They prefer to hold on herds. The biggest enemy of deer is a wolf. Deer protection means are strong hooves and horns. Cubs are born spotted, but with age it passes. Mom protects his cub and talks to them.

Wolf

It was the wolf that is the main character of a set of fairy tales. Wolves are a bit larger than the middle dog. The body is covered with dense, warm, gray fur. These are very clever, cunning, and bold beasts. Hunt wolves with flocks. They drive their booty in the ambush and attack. Despite its cruelty, wolves are very caring and good parents.

Fox

Lisa is very beautiful. She has a warm, beautiful, redhead fur coat and a long, fluffy tail. She is very smart, cunning and clever. When it threatens danger, it can run very quickly. The main delicacy of fox is mouse, hares, birds, fruits, berries. She has a very well developed rumor and smell. In order to bring offspring, Lisa Roets holes. Lylyaty are very curious, but they are unquestioning their mother.

Sable

Sable-very beautiful, dexterous and fast beast. It dwells among Koragia and fallen trees. He has a strong, flexible body and fluffy small tail. Soud meh, very beautiful, thick and warm. Hunting comes at night and day. In the spring it takes off the offspring. Nowadays, the hunt for a sable is prohibited.

Badger

Badger's body is covered with wool. Purchase prefers bumblebees, beetles and worms. Before the onset of cold, the badger should accumulate fat stocks. Since he is going to sleep in Nore. Badgers are very clean and neat beasts who carefully and carefully take care of their offspring.

Brown bear

Considering what animals in a mixed forest usually live, it is impossible not to mark the brown bear. He is practically, the king of the forest age. Bears have tremendous power. The body is covered with warm, thick, brown fur coat. At first glance, the bears may seem clumsy, but it is not. They are very deft, bistro and silently running. Bears love berries, fish, insects and fruits. They winter in the burgrels. There is also a clergy.

South of the tundra stretches extensive taiga forests, which stretched from Siberia through Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and Canada to Alaska and as if a belt length of 12 thousand km cover the most northern regions of the Earth. In these boreal, or northern, coniferous forests, such evergreen trees are growing as spruce and pines, as well as dropping the needles of larch for winter.

The undergrowth is not very thick here. The ground is covered with moss, lichen and grass. Despite the rather cold climate, many animals are coached here.

Animals of coniferous forests

Crossbill

Clest in its own way adapted to life in taiga. It feeds almost exclusively by seeds of coniferous trees, which was reflected in the structure of his beak. The hook ends of the beak from the blade crossed out, thanks to which he deftly removes seeds from the coys of the cheeks leaves coniferous forests only when they lack feed. Often in search of new rich foods, they fly long distances.

Squirrel

All summer and early autumn proteins collect nuts, seeds, mushrooms and much more. They thoroughly hide their stocks in the hollows of trees or bury in the ground. Some proteins first give mushrooms to dry up so that they do not rot. Unfortunately, the protein has a bad memory - they often forget where they hid their reserves, and they cannot later find them.

Wolverine

Wolverine refers to the family of kunih. The appearance of it resembles a little bear, but, unlike him, her tail is long and fluffy. This animal has long claws and strong teeth. Wolverine hunts in the most thick forests during the day and night and attacks even on wolves and bears, to take away their prey.

Porcupine

North American dicake dwells in the forests of Canada and the United States. It feeds mainly by deciduous plants and the delicate pulp of tree trunks (lob), which is under the crust. Sometimes he fully spins the trunk at the foot of the tree, and the tree dies. His enemies diculate demonstrates long hard needles.

Virginsky Filin

Virgin Finnish lives in the forests of North America. This is a night hunter who sees very well and hears. It feeds mainly mice and other small mammals.

Forests of Northern Europe, Russia, Canada and the Northern part of the United States are often referred to as a biome coniferous forest. Biom is special geographic regions with a special climate, Flora and fauna. Coniferous forests These regions are distinguished by a continental climate with hot summer and cold winter. This is a very dry climate. In winter, the cold leads to a lack of liquid water. In these areas, winter days are very short, and summer - very long. To survive, inhabitants of coniferous forest Must as much as possible to use every summer day, and for the winter or fall into the hibernation, or be at rest.

Coniferous forest is a habitat for many types of deer. Maral is the biggest view of deer. Its large size allows him to survive during a cold winter. In relation to the body mass index, it has a small surface, which reduces heat loss, and the main organs are deep inside the body. Together with deer in the forest, Kosley live. At different times of the year, they move to the north, then south to escape from extremely cold weather and have time to get on the most fertile pastures. Although forest caribou is subjected to extermination, it is found throughout Canada.

Baribal, Bear Grizzly and Wolverine are also associated with coniferous forests. Although it is usually said that the bears for the winter fall into the hibernation, a more accurate description of this state is that they flow into a state of false sleep, characterized by lethargia and a decrease in metabolic processes. The duration of false sleep depends on the breed. Baribal flows into a deeper hibernation than grizzly or wolverine. Before the hibernate, the bears fall into the state of high activity and gain weight. Grizzly's Bear enters Berloga only after the first snow falling. It does not allow predators to find his berrogue. The bears have a very fat fur that allows you to carry frost. Wolverine highlights water repellent fat, which prevents the heat loss through the wet fur.

Small mammals
A large number of small mammals from the discharge of rodents live in the coniferous forest. Typical representatives include beaver, protein, bunny-white and voles. In relation to the mass they have a big surface of the body, which is why they lose a lot of heat in winter. The optimal option for such animals is a hibernation in deep nora. Small mammals stop the body systems much better than bears, so zoologged scientists divided the hibernation state from the state of false sleep.

Predators
In general, a small amount of predators lives in the coniferous forest, since the main part of the mammals is herbivores. The predatory lifestyle requires too much energy, so poorly suitable for climate with a short period of growth. Among the predators of the coniferous forest can be found foxes and mines that feed on rodents, as well as lynx and wolves that hunt large animals.
