And why do you think that raccoons depend the least on the forest?

rianiscool · Answer

Bc they cant eat a varity of foods

thomaster · Answer

Yea they could survive perfectly fine in a civilized area after the forest is cut down.

The woodpeckers and salamanders would be the least likely to survive since their necessary environment is taken away from them. Same thing for the predators since they live of the other animals which will be gone with the forest.
