  • An Eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) licks the trunk of an elm tree where a red-breasted sapsucker has drilled holes. Sapsuckers drill neat rows of holes in trees to feed on the sap, but their work attracts other animals. Insects are also drawn to the holes and squirrels, which are omnivores, will take advantage of opportunities to feed on the protein-rich insects.

  • This long, narrow scar on a tree trunk, known as a frost crack, was the result of rapid temperature change. Rapid cooling causes the bark to contract faster than the wood inside, ripping open the bark. When this happens, it can make a loud explosive sound, similar to a rifle shot.

  • Special properties in the bark of a Giant Sequoia tree (Sequoiadendron giganteum), center, protect the tree from damage that affects other trees. Chemical tannins in the bark and wood resist disease, rot, insects, and other causes of decay. Its thick, fibrous bark also provides insulation against fire. A tree that isn't similarly protected (left) is covered with moss. The Giant Sequoia's unique properties can help it live 3,000 years or more.
