Forest seasons
In temperate parts of the world, there
are four seasons in a year. The forests
in these regions look very different Winter
during each season because the
trees shed their leaves in Fall
preparation for winter.
Forest animals find winters
difficult, and many move
away or hibernate to
survive the cold months.
Colorful leaves
In fall the leaves of many trees
begin to change to red, orange, and
gold, as they die and fall off. As the
days become shorter and colder,
animals prepare their dens while
others take off for warmer lands.
Lush leaves
Plants continue to grow, and the
leaves of the canopy shade the
forest floor. Many plants produce
fruit, so there is plenty of food
for animals and their young. Summer
! REALLY? Spring
Tropical rain forests
have just two seasons:
a rainy season and
a dry season.
