There are a bunch of mammals that visit or live in Heartland Forest such as, bats, coyotes, chipmunks, rabbits, squirrels, muskrats, opossums, raccoons, foxes, and deer!

Frogs, toads, newts, and Salamanders are amphibians, meaning they have an aquatic gill-breathing larval stage, followed by a terrestrial lung-breathing adult stage, but some amphibians stay in an aquatic habitat and keep their gills as an adult such as the Axolotl!

Turtles can be seen sunbathing to regulate their temperature, they are called exotherms or “cold blooded”.

The white-tailed deer has 4 stomachs! These deer also mark their territory by rubbing bark off trees.
