Woodland critters are animals that live in forests and wooded areas. The two most common woodland critters are the raccoon (COON) and the DEER (DEER). Raccoons are small, nocturnal mammals with distinctive black and white markings on their faces. They are omnivorous, meaning they eat both plants and animals. DEER are hoofed mammals that are typically found in groups. They are herbivores, meaning they only eat plants.
