Come to the pineywoods
Squirrels
Squirrels have chisel-like front teeth to help them gnaw. The squirrels of the Pineywoods are busy animals with long, bushy tails just like other tree squirrels around the world. They eat berries, fruits, acorns, mushrooms, and seeds. Squirrels live in a den in a hollow tree trunk or a sturdy nest on a tree branch. In winter, several squirrels may live in one den. These creatures scurry around on the ground or in treetops, hopping from branch to branch in woodland areas. Their tails help them keep balanced.
White Tailed Deer
This deer lives on farm land or sometimes in wooded areas near water. They really like the edges of wooded areas. That is why you might see one in this region.
Rabbits
Eastern cottontail rabbits are common in the woods of East Texas. These rabbits have shorter ears and are smaller than their cousin, thejackrabbit, which is actually not a rabbit at all—it is a hare. Baby rabbits are born helpless, blind, and without fur. Baby hares are born furry, with open eyes, and able to run. The cottontail rabbit has white fur on the underside of its tail, which looks like a ball of cotton. These rabbits live in tall grass, inside thick brush piles or in holes or dens abandoned by other animals. Rabbits eat plants for food. Their front teeth never stop growing, so they must gnaw on wood to keep them from getting too long. Rabbits are a prey species, meaning they are food for other animals. Rabbits are hunted by many predators, include coyotes, owls, and bobcats and people. Rabbits have several traits to help them as prey. Rabbits give birth often and to large litters. Rabbits can hop away from an enemy at 18 miles an hour, zigzagging back and forth to confuse their pursuers. They have a keen sense of hearing and smell.
