Tundra Fauna
Tundra fauna refers to the diverse range of animal species that inhabit cold and treeless landscapes characterized by permafrost and short growing seasons. These animals have adapted to survive in harsh conditions, including extreme cold, limited food sources, and little vegetation. Tundra fauna includes a variety of mammals, birds, and insects that have evolved unique physical and behavioral characteristics to thrive in this challenging environment. Examples of tundra fauna include caribou, musk oxen, arctic foxes, snowy owls, and lemmings.
