A wide variety of mammals, birds, insects, and reptiles can be found in a deciduous forest biome. Bobcats, mountain lions, timber wolves, and coyotes are natural inhabitants of these forests. They have nearly been eliminated by humans because of their threat to human life. Other animals that were native to this biome, such as elk and bison, have been hunted to near extinction.
Japanese Macaque
These types of monkeys are known as Japanese Macaque or Snow Monkeys living at an environment with the latitudes of 41° to 31° north of the equator. The Japanese macaque lives throughout Japan that has great differences in habitats, which made it necessary for the macaques to adapt to large seasonal changes.There are four different areas in Japan that these monkeys can be located in. One of the areas is in the central region of Japan. The monkeys can be found in the Nagano Mountains near a number of natural hot springs heated by the Shiga Kogen volcano.

Red-Crowned Crane
Red-crowned Crane is also known as Japanese Crane or Manchurian Crane.
This species has white primaries that is unique in cranes. It is the second rarest crane in the world. These species prefer to have deep waters and lives in open marshes with reeds and sedges, and in wet meadows providing a good visibility. Cranes have long pair-bonds, and these birds return regularly to the same nesting-site every year. They are well known for their wonderful mating dances. These dances include jerky bouncing, leaping up in the air and wild running with outstretched wings. The birds bow with bent legs and raised wings, and jump. They may take a stick or some vegetation, and toss it up in the air.

Red Panda
Red pandas are about 42 inches long. They weigh between 7 and 14 pounds. Their red-and-white markings blend in with the red mosses and white lichens that grow on the trees in which they live. Their soft, dense fur covers their entire body—even the soles of their feet. They use their bushy tails to balance when they're in trees. Red pandas also cover themselves with their tails during winter season.
Red pandas live in the forests of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Xizang in China, in the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal and Bhutan, and in northern Myanmar.
