Native species
Brown bear
Adult brown bears are powerful, top-of-the-food chain predators, but much of their diet consists of nuts, berries, fruit, leaves, and roots. Bears also eat other animals, from rodents to moose. Despite their enormous size, brown bears are extremely fast, having been clocked at speeds of 30 miles per hour (48 kilometers per hour)
Lynx
The northern lynx (Lynx canadensis) is 2 to 4 feet in length, and can weigh up to 45 pounds. Despite its relatively small size, it hunts prey as large as caribou, sheep and deer.
Woodland caribou
The woodland caribou is native to the boreal forest biome. Human Developments over the forests are taking up the space for the caribou to live in. Another factor is that the secondary and tertiary consumers are overeating the caribou, decreasing the species population. If the caribou goes extinct, it will also affect the other endangered mammals in the ecosystem
Locations
The taiga, or boreal forest, is a cold, snowy biome that ranges across the northern parts of North America and Eurasia, south of the tundra and north of grasslands and deciduous forests.The Taiga is the largest biome and the second coldest biome in the world covering 11% of the earth’s surface.
Longitude and latitude
The latitude and longitude of Taiga is 50 degrees north latitude to the Arctic Circle (approximately 50 degrees to 60 degrees north latitude)
