FLORA & FAUNA

Page 2: Taiga flora & fauna

• The dominant plant in the taiga is the coniferous evergreen tree. The conifers of the taiga produce their seeds in cones. They also have needles for leaves.

• Animals that live here have certain characteristics that help them to survive: – They generally have thick fur or feathers to keep them

warm. – Many animals have sharp claws and are good at

climbing trees. – They have large feet to allow them to walk on the snow

without sinking. – Many of them change colours from white fur in the

winter, to help them hide in the snow, to brown fur in the summer, to help them hide in the trees.
