Welcome to the Tundra
The tundra biomes are some of the most fascinating ecosystems on Earth. Characterized by cold temperatures, high winds, and short growing seasons, these biomes cover about 20% of our planet's surface.
The tundra is home to a variety of unique plant and animal species that have adapted to survive in extreme conditions. Life here is not only possible but thrives in ways that highlight the resilience of nature.
Interesting Facts:
- The tundra is known for its permafrost, a layer of permanently frozen ground that affects which plants can grow.
- Animals like the Arctic fox, caribou, and snowy owl call the tundra their home.
- There are two main types of tundra: Arctic Tundra and Alpine Tundra.
