Garter Snake
Garter snakes are usually about 23-30 inches long, but they have been known to grow up to 53 inches.
Because Garter snakes live in colder temperatures they need to hibernate in winter. They will find shelter in cracks in the ground where the frost doesn’t reach. If you go searching for them you won’t find just one…there could be hundreds!
The main foods of the Garter snake are earthworms, frogs, fish, leeches, tadpoles and sometimes mice. Because they are quite small, they do have a lot to fear. They are hunted and eaten by bears, raccoons, skunks and especially birds. Crows, magpie, hawks and owls can find them very easily from up in the sky.
Garter snake babies are born live, usually 20 to 40 at a time. The largest number of babies born at one time is 98!
Honey Bees
Honey Bees -
There are three types of bees in the hive – Queen, Worker and Drone.
The queen may lay 600-800 or even 1,500 eggs each day during her 3 or 4 year lifetime. This daily egg production may equal her own weight. She is constantly fed and groomed by attendant worker bees.
Honey bees fly at 15 miles per hour.
Honey bees' wings stroke 11,400 times per minute, thus making their distinctive buzz.
Honeybees are the only insect that produce food for humans.
Honeybees will usually travel approximately 3 miles from their hive.
Honeybees are the only bees that die after they sting.
Honeybees have five eyes, 3 small ones on top of the head and two big ones in front. They also have hair on their eyes!
Bees communicate with each other by dancing and by using pheromones (scents).
Honeybees never sleep!
Red Fox
The Red Fox has also become a familiar sight in suburban and even urban environments. The red fox has a litter of one to ten pups between March and May every year. The young are born blind and aren’t able to open their eyes until they’re about two weeks old. Red foxes are nocturnal, but it’s not unusual for them to be spotted during the day. They also have exceptional sight, smell and hearing abilities which makes them excellent hunters. Unlike other mammals, the red fox is able to hear low-frequency sounds which help them hunt small animals, even when they’re underground! The majority of their diet consists of invertebrates (insects, mollusks, earthworms and crayfish). They also eat plant material, especially blackberries, apples, and plums, and they eat rodents such as mice and pika; birds; and amphibians such as frogs.
Three Toed Woodpecker
The Three Toed Woodpecker lives in coniferous forests. The three toed woodpecker has a hard beak which allows it to drill through wood. It also uses tapping on wood to communicate with other birds. This bird also has an extending tongue which allows it to hunt down its prey inside of trees. These woodpeckers forage on conifers in search of wood-boring beetle larvae or other insects, and acorns. They may also eat fruit and tree sap. It is estimated that they live about 4-11 years. A fun fact about these birds is that they tap about 8,000-12,000 times a day on trees.
Mole
(Top picture: An adult mole, Bottom picture: A baby mole)
Moles are not rodents, they are insectivores, and related to shrews and bats.
Moles do not hibernate.
Mole mounds are shaped like a volcano and can reach heights of up to two feet tall.
Moles can dig up to 18 feet of surface tunnels per hour.
A 5 ounce mole will consume 45 to 50 lbs. of worms and insects per year.
Moles contain twice as much blood and twice as much red hemoglobin as other mammals of similar size, allowing the mole to breath easily in its underground environment of low oxygen and high carbon dioxide.
The mole will mainly eat insects, grubs, and worms found in its tunnels or while foraging and typically will consume up 1.5 times its bodyweight each day
Quaking Aspen
The quaking aspen, also called trembling or golden aspen, is a deciduous tree which can grown in many different soil types. They can grow to heights of 40 to 50 feet and possess a spread of some 25 feet in its canopy. The tree's odd name comes from the fact that its leaves will tremble in even the slightest breeze. The quaking aspen is an important species of tree for wildlife by providing food and shelter for mammals and birds.
