The animals in the tundra biome
Many animals live in the tundra biome some of these animals are Caribou, Ermine,
water birds, mosquitoes, polar bears, arctic fox, White wolves, grizzly bears, gray
falcons, bald eagles, bumble bees, squirrels, Norway lemmings,and voles.

Facts
about the tundra
.The largest animal that lives in the tundra biome is the polar bear. They thrive on fatty meats to give them
enough energy to live through the harsh winters.There are two types of tundra - arctic tundra and alpine
tundra. The arctic tundra is located within the Arctic Circle while the alpine tundra is the area high in the
mountains above trees.The plants that grow in the tundra biome often grow in clusters to help protect
themselves from the severe winter winds.

The pika
One of the animals found in the tundra is a
pika. A pika is a hamster type animal. It is
20cm long and is a cute, little, white, fuzzy
tan animal. The pika eats grass and herbs,
therefore it is a herbivore. Many carnivores
feed upon the pika. It survives by living in
holes in the ground and storing grass,
flowers, and herbs. This animal can also be
found in grassland biome. It is mostly found
in the tundras in North America.

poppy, Bearberry, Arctic moss, Caribou moss, Diamond leaf willow, Labrador Tea,
Pasque flower, Tufted saxifrage.

The climate in the
tundra
biome
Tundras are among
Earth's coldest, harshest biomes. Tundra ecosystems are
treeless regions found in the Arctic and on the tops of mountains, where the
climate is cold and windy and rainfall is scant. Tundra lands are snow-covered for
much of the year, until summer brings a burst of wildflowers.

The latitude in the tundra biome
The latitude range for the tundra is from the
arctic circle to 60° to 70° latitude North. Parts of
Alaska and northern Canada contains tundra
biome and climates. Tundra climate can also be

The temperature in the tundra
In fact, the growing season ranges only from 50 to 60 days,
and the yearly precipitation (Which includes melting snow) is
15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 inches).
During the winter season, the average temperature is -34° C (30° F), and during the summer season, the temperature is 312° C (37-54° F), which is when the most wildlife can be seen.
The yearly precipitation is mere
The Arctic tundra, where the average temperature is 10
to 20. degrees Fahrenheit(-12 to -6 degrees Celsius),
supports a variety of animal species, including Arctic
foxes, polar bears, gray wolves, caribou, snow geese
and musk-oxen. The summer growing season is just 50
to 60 days, when the sun shines 24 hours a day

Aquatic
plant
Aquatic plants are plants that have adapted to living in aquatic environments
(saltwater or freshwater). They are also referred to as hydrophytes or
macrophytes. These plants require special adaptations for living submerged in
water, or at the water's surface.
13
The Arctic
The Arctic poppy (Papaver laestadianum) is a rare,
endemic, perennial plant species found only in the harsh,
Arctic conditions of the northernmost parts of Scandinavia.
The solitary flower head consists of four vibrant yellow
petals, supported by an erect stem which is long and
narrow and has thick, spreading black hairs. Within the cupshaped flower are five stigma protruding from a flat disk (1)
(2). The leaves growing in a dense rosette around the base
of the stem are lance-shaped and pinnate. The flowering
stems of the Arctic poppy are around ten centimetres long

The location in the tundra
tundra is located at the
biome
top of the world, near the
The
North Pole. This enormous
biome, extremely uniform in
appearance, covers a fifth
of the earth's surface. The
most distinctive
characteristic of tundra soil
is its permafrost, a
permanently frozen layer of
ground.
15
Polar bear
The polar bear or the sea/ice bear are the world's largest land predators. They
can be found in the Arctic, the U.S. (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Denmark
(Greenland), and Norway. Each of these countries either banned hunting or
established rules for how many polar bears could be hunted within its own
boundaries. These rules help keep polar bear populations stable. Today,
25,000 to 40,000 polar bears roam the Arctic.

The Peregrine Falcon is a raptor, or bird of prey.
falcons
Adults have blue-gray wings, dark brown backs, a
buff colored underside with brown spots, and white

faces with a black tear stripe on their cheeks. They
have a hooked beaks and strong talons. Their name
comes from the Latin word peregrinus, which means
"to wander." They are commonly referred to as the
Duck Hawk. Peregrine falcons are the fastest-flying
birds in the world – they are able to dive at 200 miles
per hour.

Bearberry is an evergreen plant that belongs to the heather family. It can be found in Canada, USA, Europe and
bearberry
Asia. Bearberry is adapted to long periods of cold weather and it easily thrives tundra. Bearberry grows on dry,
poor, usually sandy soils, exposed to direct sunlight. It can be found in the mountains, shorelines, prairies, dunes
and rocky areas. Cultivars of bearberry that produce glossy leaves, showy flowers and numerous fruit are
cultivated in ornamental purposes. Non-flowering varieties of bearberry are cultivated in medical purposes.

with each other
through various
vocalisations
and scent
marking. They
also use their
tails as a
signalling
device, twitching
it when uneasy
to alert other
squirrels of

Labrador
Tea who was on the list
The Labrador tea plant grows to be
4 to 5 feet. It will grow up-straight
in the southern latitudes of the
tundra, but in the colder northern
latitudes it will creep over the
ground forming a carpet. It has
woolly branches with narrow 1 to 2
inch leaves which are smooth on
the upper side, with rusty hairs
underneath. They droop slightly
and edges are rolled under, and are
a leathery green in color. At the
ends of the branches are tiny
clusters of white flowers with
protruding stamen, which bloom
in June and July.

The temperature in the
The Arctic tundra, where the average

temperature
10 to 20 degrees
Fahrenheit (-12 to -6 degrees Celsius),
supports a variety of animal species,
including Arctic foxes, polar bears,
gray wolves, caribou, snow geese and
musk-oxen. The summer growing
season is just 50 to 60 days, when the
