Massachusetts nickname is the Bay state

I couldn’t find why Massachusetts nickname is the bay state, but I think it’s because

it has many bays.

This is Massachusetts's state flag

Massachusetts entered the union in 1788. It was one of the original 13 colonies. Massachusetts was the state where most of the revolutionary war took place. This state also was where many famous events took place such as the “Boston Tea Party”.

Massachusetts state flower is the mayflower

One of the many animals that lives in a Deciduous forest is the American Black Bear. This bear has black fur and a golden muzzle. It loves catching fish is nearby streams. This bear can run very quickly for how heavy it is, it can weigh up to594 pounds! Now THAT’S heavy! Black bears aren’t endangered, they actually live in most of North America. Male black bears mature at around 5-6 years of age, and females around 4-5 years.

Black bears hibernate in the winter so they don’t have to find food. It’s thick coat helps it survive in the winter.

One of the many birds that live in the forest is the American bald eagle. These beautiful birds of prey have brown feathers and a white head. It’s wingspan is about 5 1/2-8 feet long. They stand between 30.4-36.4 tall or the height of an average sized office desk. It eats fish, snakes , and rodents. The eagle catches it’s prey by grasping it in it’s sharp talons. The bald

eagle is North America’s national symbol. It is one of America’s largest birds.

Another one of the many animals in the Deciduous forest is the white tailed deer. Even though they aren’t very high on the food chain, they are quite good at hiding. There fur helps them blend in with the forest foliage. Only males have those beautiful antlers. Males use those antlers to fight for mates. Female deer weigh 70-200 lbs and males up to 400 lbs. Deer have many predators like big cats and coyotes. The male

deer are called bucks, and they females are called does, babies are called fawns
