The Snow Leopard species hunts animals preventing overpopulation. During the winter it eats dead animals.
The tempature is around 45-50 during the winter
Caribou live in the North Woods or Taiga during the Winter and migrate to the Tundra during the summer. They have their calves on the Tundra.
During the winter animals living on a tundra have a thick layer of fat gained during the summer, they are covered with thick insulating furs or feathers, they have adapted color changing fur (brown in summer, white in winter), they also have short/stocky arms and legs to keep them warmer(closer to the body). Some tundra animals use solar heating to keep warm.
In the tundra ecosystem, animals such as caribou, Arctic foxes, and lemmings are known to consume bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) as part of their diet. Bearberry is a common shrub found in the tundra regions and provides important nutrients for these animals, especially during the harsh winter months when food sources are limited. The high fiber content and vitamin C in bearberry make it a valuable food source for tundra animals, helping them survive in the cold and challenging environment.
Some animals have white fur coats in the winter so they are less conspicious and others may hibernate or migrate.
In the tundra, there is a brief period of spring and fall. Spring is characterized by melting snow, thawing ground, and the emergence of plants and animals. Fall is marked by cooling temperatures, the changing color of foliage, and the preparation of animals for winter. These seasons are relatively short compared to summer and winter in the tundra biome.
There are many animals that live in the Arctic tundra. The animals that eat tundra grass; examples of animals that eat tundra grass include the pika and the Norway Lemming,
