Most animals eat grass in the grasslands

Most animals stay year-round Most animals are grazers Invertebrates to large mammals Some animals are browsers

Some animals migrate Most animals have adaptations

Grass is common Few trees except along streams Tall and short grasslands There are thousands of grasses Many wildflowers Many grasses will not die if

stepped on Wide range of plant life

This biome is important because it has very many

animals and plants that are regional to this world.

•Few animals live in the Taiga because of climate

•Some birds live in Taiga

•Most mammals live in the Taiga

•Some of the animals

migrate to warm places•Most animals have fur to

blend in with surroundings

•Many swans, otters, and weasels live in the taiga

•Cold winters,cool summers

•Moisture moderate varies throughout year

•Very coldClimate in winters •Gets 13 inches of rain In a year•Cold climate

•Winters long and cold•Summers short and

cool

Not much plant life Common plant is

conifer tree Rarely found club

moss Some trees don’t

drop there leaves Ground freezes so

plants are unable to get water

Trees grow close together

Trees in the Taiga need to adapt to the climate

•The wooly mammoths are extinct

•Some animals in the Taiga are poached and killed

•Anancus is a extinct dinosaur

•The brown bear is threatened by being poached

•Stellers sea lion is threatened because of fisher men

•Corythosaurs is extinct

Found in the northern hemisphere near polar region

In Russia,North America,Europe,and Asia

Mostly found in Canada

Most of the taiga grows in the Artic circle

Taiga is far up north Taiga is mostly

unpopulated

The Taiga is near the Tundra where we will visit next, in our biome adventure.
