Mammals living in the taiga include foxes, lynxes, bears, minks, squirrels, while larger ones include grey wolves and their preys: caribou, reindeers and moose. There are some lichens and mosses, but most plants are coniferous trees like pine, white spruce, hemlock and douglas fir.

Ecological Concerns or Issues
Deforestation is a huge problem in the Taiga. Even the grizzly bear is a threat to the Taiga, being at the top of the food chain.
