Animals in the Tundra
There are many animals that live in the tundra. Some of these animals include caribou, Ermine, water birds, mosquitoes, polar bears, arctic fox, white wolves, grizzly bears, gray falcons, bald eagles, bumble bees, squirrels, Norway lemmings, shrew, and voles. Ptarmigan, ravens, snowy owls, arctichares, pikas, and pocket gophers are also found in this vast biome. During the harsher winter months the birds tend to migrate south; therefore you may not see many animals during winter.

Plants in the tundra
The Tundra has a lot of plant life within this biome. Some common plants include the bearberry, arctic moss, Caribou moss, Diamond leaf willow, Labrador Tea, Pasque Flower, and the Tufted Saxifrage. The animals in the tundra eat these plants to survive and gain energy to stay warm. The plants adapt by growing short and close to the ground to avoid high winds. Hairy stems also keep plants warm in the tundra the bearberry isn't found in any other biome. The bear berry is indigenous to the Tundra and only the Tundra.
