 * __**E****uropean Hedgehog**__- Eat beetles, worms, caterpillars, slugs and almost anything they can catch. Hibernation usually begins about November and ends around Easter, but is much affected by the weather. Hedgehogs normally wake up several times over winter and often build a new nest. Hedgehogs are not related to porcupines, instead hedgehog relatives include shrews and moles.
 * **__Chipmunk__**- Cheek pouches on a chipmunk can strech almost to the size of the chipmunk's head. A chipmunk can carry nine large nuts at a time four in each cheek pouch and one between its teeth. A chipmunk usually bites off any sharp edges from nuts or seeds before placing them in its elastic cheek pouches as to not pinch or peirce it's cheeks.
 * __**Black Bear**__- Black bears can run faster than 25 mph or climb trees as fast as squirrels. Black bears communicate with grunts, by expelling air in different ways. Bear cubs readily scream in distress, whine when approaching their mother.
 * **__Bobwhite Quail__**- Famous for their vocal abilities. In spring and summer, males challenge each other from their perches with a whistled bob white. When a quail senses an approaching enemy, it instantly warns its companions. The entire flock explodes into flight with a loud roar of wings and scatters in all directions. Bobwhites are also rapid and tireless runners.
 * **__Northern Copperhead__**- The coloration of the Copperhead resembles the fallen leaves, sticks, and other debris on the forest floor, giving it excellent protection from its enemies. Baby copperheads, up to a year or so in age, may be easily identified by the presence of a bright yellow tail tip. The tail is twitched and turned to resemble the movements of a grub or worm. Investigating animals see the movement as a possible meal but do not notice the well-hidden snake attached to the tail.
 * **__Salamander__**- Larval stage salamanders breathe using gills, while adult salamanders use lungs or breathe through the skin. Most salamanders are carnivores. They feed on insects, worms, and similar prey. Some species use their tongues to catch the prey.
