Lage mammals
editI may end up correcting this myself, but it should be mentioned in the same paragraph about the large mammals being removed from these forests, that at the very least the black bear has begun to re-encroach on this area, particularly here in Michigan. On an unrelated point, while the ecoregion to the south is given, perhaps the ecoregion(s) in the other directions should be given, too. I'm particularly interested to know which ecoregion covers the northern half of the lower peninsula. --Criticalthinker (talk) 08:00, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Criticalthinker: I see no problem with adding fauna if you have a source, but probably best to cover is broadly and not just one species. On the other matter, I don't think that is the way to do it because then we would have to include all the other states/provinces and it could go on and on, and out and out. Check the list at the links, you are looking for Western Great Lakes Forests etc. What would be very helpful, I think, was if you created a Michigan List at, List of ecoregions in Michigan, article, like List of ecoregions in Illinois and similar articles.

- I mean, I thought it was a bit strange to just mention the temperate deciduous forests to the south independent of other bordering regions, since as a mixed forest it's just as likely to have types of flora and fauna comparable to the ecoregion to the north as to the south. --Criticalthinker (talk) 01:29, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, i see, please improve the article, as needed. It seems the idea there is that it is associated with the larger eastern north america deciduous as opposed to the northern boreal/conifer. Alanscottwalker (talk)
