A polar bear is a consumer of the tundra biome. Some more are- harp seal, arctic cod, zooplankton, Arctic fox, arctic wolf, and musk ox.
Arctic hares, lemmings, and caribou are known to feed on tufted saxifrage, as it is a common plant in the Arctic tundra. These animals rely on the plant as a food source due to its availability in their habitat and its nutritional value.
the Tufted Saxifrage survives in the harsh tundra because it has a developed underground root system, natural antifreeze inside, plus it can create many seeds at a time, improving chances of the plant to grow and reproduce. it also grows in mats, which can live on rocks and trees as well as the ground.Hope it helped guys.
Arctic Poppy, Arctic Lupine, Arctic moss, Arctic lichen, and many more! All of the tundra plants have their unique adaptations!

lichens, moss, low lying shrubs, rhododendrons, and saxifrage
The tufted saxifrage (Saxifraga cespitosa) adapts to the tundra environment through several key features. It has a low-growing, cushion-like form that helps it stay close to the ground, reducing exposure to harsh winds and extreme cold. Its thick, succulent leaves store moisture and nutrients, allowing it to survive in nutrient-poor soils. Additionally, the plant has a short growing season, flowering quickly during the brief summer to ensure successful reproduction before the onset of winter.

The plants (producers) are needed by consumers who feed by grazing or filter-feeding. Examples include snails, urchins and corals. These consumers in turn will be eaten by other animals such as sea stars. At the top of the food web, there are larger animals (consumers) such as fish, penguins, seals and whales.
Grasses, mosses and forbs are outstanding producers in the Tundra .
Yes, caribou do eat saxifrage, among other plants. Saxifrage is a flowering plant that grows in the tundra and alpine regions, making it accessible to caribou, especially during the summer months when they graze on a variety of vegetation. Their diet primarily consists of grasses, lichens, and other herbaceous plants, depending on seasonal availability.
