How is the tundra animals existsin the tundra?
Tundra mammels survive in the tundra by having heavy fur coats that have evolved to fight against the terrible cold. Tundra reptiles, which are few, go into deep hibernations in the winter and have adapted to have antifreeze in their systems that allow them to literally freeze and come back to life. Tundra birds have large amounts of down feathers and often have feathers on their feet to promote good circulation and warmth. Tundra fish have adapted to live in still cold waters with low oxegan levels under the ice. Most tundra animals have adapted overtime as to not succumb to their enviorment. With physical features and diets specifically for cold places tundra animals exist very easily in such an odd enviornment.
Why arent there many reptiles or amphibians in the tundra?
Most reptiles are cold-blooded and have a low metabolism, which means that they must rely on the heat of the sun to help speed their metabolism.

Although there is a certain species of frog whose blood contains some sort of anti-freeze agent and allows it to hibernate in suspended animation... Well, that's another story.
