How did animals adapt/survive in hurricane katria (plz will mark brainliest)

Baby animals who live in trees, like squirrels and birds, are at high risk of being blown out of their nests and becoming lost, separated from their parents forever. One example is a litter of baby squirrels who were blown out of their nest and rescued by a Good Samaritan. “[I]f the animals had not been found they would have died within hours,” whether from shock or predators, the Daily Mail reported. But the news wasn’t all good for this squirrel family: sanctuary workers feared that their mother, whom rescuers could not locate, was still searching for her missing babies.

Birds are also in danger of death or dislocation from hurricanes. Some, like woodpeckers, know how to weather the storm — they stay in holes in trees. But migratory birds don’t fare as well. “Powerful winds from hurricanes and tropical storms can blow birds off course and push them hundreds of miles away from their home habitat,” according to the National Wildlife Federation (NWF). Some of them never make it back.

Non-migratory birds are in peril of losing their food sources. “Birds living in hurricane areas…suffer when their food supplies, such as fruits and berries, are stripped from trees and shrubs,” reports Birding.com. But at least the adults can stay put: their toes are designed to clench tight around branches, allowing them to resist even strong winds.

Sea mammals have it hard too. Kevin Coyle of NWF writes that “some dolphins and manatees have actually been blown ashore during major storms.”

Other sea life can suffer from the intermingling of salt and fresh water when a hurricane’s high winds cause storm surges, NWF explains: “[S]alty ocean water [piles] up and surge[s] onshore,” which “shifts the delicate balance of freshwater and brackish wetland areas. Creatures and vegetation that are less salt-tolerant will be harmed and many will not survive this influx of sea water.”
