How would large animals and large plants adapt to frequent hurricane weather?

+0
−0

In a large varied environment where strong winds are the norm and every few weeks or so a huge hurricane sweeps through, how would large land animals (horse- to elephant-sized) evolve to cope?

I understand palm trees to be well adapted to hurricanes; roots that anchor them into the ground, strong but flexible trunks and large leaves that yield rather than canopies that catch the wind.

Are there other examples of large plants with adaptations to hurricane weather?
