Temperate forests are also known as deciduous forests. Most trees lose their leaves in winter due to cold weather, which causes the leaves to change color and fall off as the trees shut down. Temperate forests contain a variety of plants along streams and around tree trunks, as well as animals such as beavers, raccoons, cougars, black bears, elk, foxes, eagles, and many insects.
