There are 3 different animals in the scene below. One is hard to see, but you can sure smell it. Another could be called Bob if you were lucky enough to run into him while in the woods. You can hear the last one knocking in the woods, but don't look for a door.

You're not done yet. There are also 2 very different nests in this scene. They aren't your everyday bird nests!

Oak woodlands are scattered throughout the outer Coast Ranges, especially in Northern California, the location depicted in this diorama. The orange color of the poison oak in the diorama announces that autumn has come to the oak woodland. Visit the California Academy of Sciences and take a guided tour of Wild California to learn even more about the Oak Woodland.
