The eastern fox squirrel lives in mature oak-hickory woodlands consisting of small, irregularly shaped tracts of trees connected by strips of woodland. Their main food is acorns, which they collect and bury to eat later when food is scarce. Burying nuts helps forests grow as forgotten nuts can sprout. Fox squirrels mate twice a year and females give birth to two offspring each time after a six to seven week gestation period. Squirrel populations rely on trees for food and shelter, so loss of trees can cause squirrel deaths. Squirrels are prey for hawks, owls, snakes and other predators.

Male and female house sparrows can be distinguished by their feather coloration, with males having reddish backs and black bibs and females having brown backs with stripes. Sparrows eat insects as well as seeds, berries and fruit, though they are carnivores by nature. They can fly up to 24 mph and accelerate to 31 mph when needed, and can also swim fast to escape predators. Though usually monogamous, genetic analysis shows both males and females sometimes have extramarital partners. House sparrows can live 4-5 years in the wild and are very social, living in flocks, though urban flocks sometimes move to countryside in late summer to feed on grain.

The document discusses the North American porcupine, its habitat, behaviors, life cycle, predators, and role in the food chain. Porcupines live in a variety of habitats across North America, including forests, tundra, and chaparral. They are nocturnal herbivores that eat plants, leaves, roots, and bark. Porcupines have predators like lynxes, bobcats, and great horned owls, but protect themselves with barbed quills. Their breeding season is October-November, with a 210 day gestation period and litters of 1-2 young.

The long-tailed weasel lives in temperate and tropical areas of North and Central America, usually in crop fields, small wooded areas, and suburban areas. They manage rabbit and rodent populations by hunting with scent and sound and killing with a bite to the neck. Mating occurs in mid-summer but gestation is delayed until March, resulting in litters of around 6 young in late spring. Many weasels do not survive their first year due to predation and aggression. Their population is dependent on adequate food sources in the surrounding environment such as streams and soil.

The Inca Dove inhabits residential areas like cities, farms, lawns, and parks. It avoids cold, arid, and semi-arid regions. It eats seeds, grass, small vegetation, nuts, and fruit. Common predators include house cats, raccoons, blue jays, and ringtails. Inca Doves mate year-round and have a gestation period of 13-15 days. Both parents care for offspring for 12-16 days by feeding them milk.

1) The timber rattlesnake lives in forested and swampy areas across much of the eastern US, preying mainly on small mammals.
2) Mating occurs in late summer to early fall, with young born the following summer after a 4-5 month gestation period. Litters average 4-20 snakes.
3) Timber rattlesnakes face threats from predators like coyotes and large birds, and have an average lifespan of 16-22 years in the wild, though they can live over 30 years in captivity. Parasites and lack of prey also impact mortality rates.

The eastern cottontail rabbit lives in a variety of habitats including meadows, orchards, open fields, and wooded areas. It prefers areas with tall grass, bushes or trees where it can hide. The cottontail is an herbivore whose diet changes seasonally, eating grasses, vegetables or bark and twigs. It is prey to many animals and is mainly nocturnal. Factors affecting its birth rate include breeding season, litter size, and weaning age, while factors impacting death rate include predators, parasites, and overpopulation.

The red fox lives alone except when mating from January to March. It is an omnivore, consuming small mammals, plants, and berries, typically hunting at night. Litters of 1-10 pups are born and cared for by the mother for 7 months before dispersing. Water quality tests of a stream showed high dissolved oxygen, neutral pH, and low nutrients, indicating a healthy environment that could support red foxes through the food chain. However, poor water or soil quality could disrupt this chain and negatively impact the red fox population.

This document discusses the green frog (Rana clamitans), including its habitat, diet, breeding habits, predators, and role in the ecosystem. It examines various factors that can affect a green frog population like temperature, breeding periods, clutch sizes. Stream quality is assessed based on organism classes present with Class I organisms indicating high quality. The green frog benefits from healthy wetland and stream conditions while acid mine drainage would negatively impact populations.

1) The bobcat lives in dense vegetation with plenty of prey like rabbits, hares, birds, and rodents. It has one main den and several auxiliary dens in places like rock shelters, caves, hollow logs, and fallen trees.
2) Bobcats mate in late winter and gestation lasts 50-70 days, resulting in litters of 1-6 kittens. Kittens are weaned at around 2 months and begin hunting at 5 months.
3) Bobcats have a lifespan of 10-12 years. Their death rate is affected by hunting, ticks/mosquitoes, and avoiding humans by moving to less populated areas.
