In the Protista kingdom there are amoeba and paramecium which live in lakes which exist in the deciduous forest. Some examples of invertebrates are arthropods. Arthropods have exoskeletons, jointed appendages, a segmented body, and an open circulatory system. An example of an arthropod is a Margophus annulatus . Another invertebrate phylum is Molluska.
Mollusks are soft bodied, and usually have a hard shell secreted by a mantle.
They have a muscular foot and a digestive system with two openings. An example is a snail. Some vertebrates in the deciduous forest are from the class reptilia. Reptiles have dry covered skin, and most lay eggs. Some examples are the Desmognathus fuscus , which is a salamander, and the Rana syluatica , which is a frog.
