The Asian black bears are omnivores that have two species names, their current Ursus thibetanus, but were once called Selenarctos thibetanus.
They are listed under the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and have classified the species as vulnerable, from human poaching and deforestation for farmland.
The black bears are usually dinural (active during the day, asleep at night), but near human settlements have grown nocturnal, a further molding of human impression on this species.
The bears create their dens in hollow trees up to 60 feet (18 meters) off the ground, so they are expert climbers.
They interact with other bears with a range of sounds, from slurps to clucks.
Threats to the bears are tigers, leopards, brown bears, and dholes. Lynxes can be threats to the bear cubs.
Black bears eat several types of grasses, honeys, nuts, fruits, and also grubs, garbage, and carrion.
Asians claiming to work for the lumber industry actually are poachers for the bears, and may actually cut down several trees to deny the bears general safety that their high-altitude dens provide. They would nest in rocks and caves, making them vulnerable to hunters.
Asiatic black bears would be considered Quaternary Consumers, and maintain a predator-prey relationship, with the bears being the predator.
Gorals
Gorals, or Naemorhedusgorals, are a small, goat/antelope type species.
They have a yellow-grey and black coat with small conical horns.
The long-tailed goral and the Chinese goral both reside in the Sotheast Asian Deciduous Forest.
Gorals prefer to build their habitats at high, rocky elevations.
They have a length of up to 4' 3" (130 cm), and have a wooly undercoat with coarse hair to protect themselves from the colder winter.
Gorals mainly consume grasses, woody organic material, and some nuts and fruits. They have been documented to eat twigs and leaves during the winter months, though.
In China, the IUCN declared the species Vulnerable, because of excessive poaching and the destroying of their habitats by agriculture. The only real protection for gorals are the zoos in which they may be housed in.
Gorals are considered Primary Consumers, and fall prey to the other carnivores of the deciduous forest.
Eurasian Lynx
The Eurasian Lynx, their species conveniently named Lynx lynx, was fortunately rated by the IUCN was rated as Least Concern, so they are relatively safe.
The lynx can also grow to the length of 4' 3", and stand up to 2' 5" at the shoulder.
Eurasian lynxes tend to prey on fairly large mammals and birds, but will purposely prey on smaller animals when wolves or wolverines are in the vicinity.
The main predators of the lynxes are grey wolves and wolverines. Siberian tigers also occasionally prey on the lynx as well.
The female lynxes respond aggressively when they perceive their offspring to be under threat, like many other female parents.
The lynx are willing to stalk their prey through miles of snow during winter, and on various occasions will either steal other predators' kills or have their own kills stolen from them.
Eurasian lynxes are Tertiary Consumers, only finding danger in carnivores larger than them.
Oriental Small-Clawed Otter
The Oriental Small-Clawed Otter (Aonyx cinerea), is the smallest species of otter in the world.
A distinctive feature on the otter, aside from its size, are its paws, with claws not extending past the fleshy end of the partially webbed fingers and toes.
This feature allows precise dexterity in the paws, which allow them to eat molluscs, crabs, and other aquatic organisms with ease.
They reside in freshwater bodies or rivers in Northeast Asia.
Because of habitat loss, pollution, and hunting, the IUCN has made the Otter at the Vulnerable stage.
The Otters communicate with 12 different types of vocalization, use scent glands located in their tails, and make sign heaps, a pile of rocks, sand, and plants that other otters somehow understand.
Otters are also the safest in zoos, and it has been reported that they behave peacefully with the other inhabitants.
The otters would be registered as Secondary Consumers, since they eat small creatures, but are threatened by any other carnivores of the next two tiers above them.
Red Deer
The Red Deer, or more uncommonly known as the Cervus elaphus, is one of the largest deer species.
The red deer inhabits most of Europe, Asia Minor, Iran, western Asia, central Asia, and northeast Asia.
Red deer are also populous in almost all the other continents as well.
This species is the fourth-largest deer, they grow up to 8 feet long, and can weigh up to 530 pounds.
The largest antler length documented on a red deer totalled to be 28 inches, weighing 2.2 pounds.
They use these antlers for protection and mating.
Red deer consume the crops of farmers, heather, berries, lichens, grasses, mosses, and treebark.
Red Deer are extremely populous, hence the locations above, which makes the IUCN mark them as Least Concern.
Red deer are considered primary consumers, since they gain their energy from organic plant matter, and are threatened by carnivores.
