Forest denizens are animals that inhabit forests. Common examples include elks, WAPITIS, DEER, DOES, HINDS, and spotted owls. Elks are large DEER-like mammals with long antlers and a humped back. WAPITIS are also large DEER-like mammals, but they have a lighter coloration and lack the humped back of elks. DEER are smaller mammals with long legs and short tails. DOES are female DEER, while HINDS are female red DEER. Spotted owls are small nocturnal birds with dark brown and white feathers.
