Some examples are the Desmognathus fuscus , which is a salamander, and the Rana syluatica , which is a frog. Another example of vertebrates in the deciduous forest are found in class mammalia. Mammals are warm blooded, use lungs for respiration, and have four legs. Some examples of mammals are S. carolinensis , which is a squirrel, Tamias netscheri , which is a chipmunk, and Oryctolagus cuniculus , which is a rabbit. The last example of vertebrates are called Aves.
Birds have feathers on most of their body, and scales on legs and feet.
Some of them move by flying. Examples of Aves are Picoides pubescens , which is a woodpecker, and Anas platyrhynchos , which is a duck. There are many examples of adaptation in the deciduous forest. Some birds are able to survive the winter by flying south where it is warmer and easier to get food. That way they have a greater chance of existing longer.
