When the trees are cut down in a forest where do the animal go?

Answer 1

This will depend on the species involved and the size of the forest disturbed. Some species only require a small area in which to find the resources they require to survive, for example, small skink lizards that catch flies for a living. However, it depends on the dispersal abilities of the species, with our lizard example it may not be able to disperse far enough to reach unmodified habitat to find sufficient resources whereas large mobile species like kangaroos will have less problem covering the required distance.
If the remaining forest is fragmented this will limit the number of animals it is able to support (diminished resources) from surrounding cleared forests. Overall the species richness will be depleted, with generalist species dominating because they can more easily take advantage of a number of food resources if some are lacking due to the clearing, for example, if a nectivorous bird species is also able to feed on insects if its food plants are absent.
Cheers.

Answer 2

Depends. Some die some just move elsewhere.

If there is suitable habitat for the animal to go into that isn't occupied then the animal will go there. If habitat is the limiting factor on that animal's life, taking it away will kill the animal.

Example:
If a bird was using a tree as a nest and all the other trees that were not cut down are already taken by another bird's territory then the bird will probably die, however if you simply chopped down a little section of a forest where a bear lives, the bear probably won't die.

Answer 3

They die. Sad but true. Cuz they have nowhere else to go. That's why I think it's so gay that people are cutting down so many trees. They say for each tree you cut down, you're supposed to plant 3, but no one ever does!

Answer 4

birds try to find other tresds, but often cannot becuase they are occupied buy other species. They will diminish in number by death on the gound, or starvation. Ground animals who need forestation die becuase predatyors can get to them easily....or else, they strave or die out not able to trap smaller animals becauase they ehremslefes are being hunted in the open.

Answer 5

thats the problem with deforestation! by removing trees that animal has just lost its habitat...some animals can find new homes but some unfortunately die.

Answer 6

Deadburg.

Answer 7

They either find a new home, die, or get taken to a wildlife reserve or a zoo

Answer 8

They run for cover,, either in the ground, or in trees or bushes,, it scares them, so they run.

Answer 9

in my attic or under my deck.
