Deer, bear, bobcats, moose, and more – the forest is filled with large animals.
Insects
Ladybugs, beetles, praying mantises, spiders, bees, and other buzzing bugs may give you the creepy crawlies, but they’re an essential part of the forest ecosystem
Reptiles & Amphibians
Gopher tortoise, turtles, salamanders, snakes, frogs, newts, and skunks; these scaly creatures are a common sight for many forest visitors

In return, the algae produce carbohydrates that the coral uses for food, as well as oxygen. The algae also help the coral remove waste.

They have a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae called zooxanthellae, which live in their tissues.
