Tundra:

Welcome to the COLD

JUNGLE
This is a presentation by the BSR COLD
HEART Association
PRESENTED BY: BEN STORM RANEY
PRESEDENT of BSRCHA.
 THE BIOME
 THE ARTIC TUNDRA IS THE COLDEST
BIOME IN THE WORLD IT IS FULL OF
FACNATING PLANTS AND CREATURES
IN THIS PRESINTATION I WILL TELL
YOU ABOT THEM AND THERE
AWSOME HABBITAT PLEASE ENJOY. 
ARCTIC FOX
 The Arctic fox (Alopex
lagopus) makes its home
in small burrows in frost-
free ground, often in low
mounds, or in rock piles.
 THE ARCTIC FOX IS A
SCAVENGER SO IT
CAN FIND FOOD TO
EAT WITH NO
TROUBLEAT ALL.
Caribou
 The caribou lives in the arctic tundra,
mountain tundra, and northern forests
of North America, Greenland,
Scandinavia, and Russia. It is
estimated that there are about 5 million
caribou in the world. They were first
domesticated in Norway and northern
Asia and known as reindeer. People
used them to pull their sleds, provide
milk, meat and skins to build their
tents. When it was seen how valuable
they were, they were brought to Alaska
in 1887. Later they were brought to
parts of Canada. These North
American reindeer became known as
caribou. Although they are called by
different names, they are both
considered to be a single species.
Ermine
 The ermine is found all
over Canada, northern
USA, and Eurasia. The
Ermine lives in northern
biomes such as taigas
and tundras. The Siberian
tundra is a vast land that
is almost completely dark
during the winter season
because of its far north
location. Also, the climate
in winter is extremely
cold. In fact, the Siberian
Tundra is the coldest
biome in the world. 
Grizzly Bear
 Most bears are found in
North America and
Eurasia. Grizzlies are
found on the Alaskan and
northwestern Canadian
tundra. They are
considered a subspecies
of the brown bear. Most
grizzly bears are found in
the northwestern part of
North America. The
grizzly bear's habitat can
include forests,
mountains, meadows,
and valleys.
Polar Bear
 The Polar Bear is one
of the most famous
animals in the tundra.
They are the main
focus of this group
and its is my favorite
animal. =)
 Bearberry
 Bearberry is a low growing evergreen. It
has a stem that rises 2-8" off the ground
and is covered in a thick bark and fine silky
hairs. On the stem are many oval-shaped,
leathery leaves that are _" to 1" long. The
flowers have five petals and are pale pink
or white. The petals are only _" long and
are curled around the narrow center. They
bloom anywhere between March and
June. The fruit is a red berry 3/8" in
diameter. Bearberry gets its name
because bears like to feast on these
berries.
 Labrador Tea
 The Labrador tea plant grows to be 4 to 5 feet. It will grow
up straight in the southern latitudes of the tundra, but in the
colder northern latitudes it will creep over the ground
forming a carpet. It has woolly branches with narrow 1 to 2
inch leaves which are smooth on the upper side, with rusty
hairs underneath. They droop slightly and edges are rolled
under, and are a leathery green in color. At the ends of the
branches are tiny clusters of white flowers with protruding
stamen, which bloom in June and July.
 Diamond-leaf Willow
 The twigs on a willow are soft,
slender, and they bend easily. A
willow has thin branches. The
leaves are narrow and grow
alternately on the branch. Some
leaves have serrated edges.
 Tufted Saxifrage
 Tufted Saxifrage is a small
perennial that grow in thick
mats on the tundra. It has
several straight flower stems
which can get 3-15 cm high.
The leaves are rigid and very
hairy and only 5-10 mm long.
Their tips divide into 3 lobes.
 Arctic Willow
 Salix arctica whose common
name is Arctic willow or rock
willow can be found in the North
American tundra. The North
American tundra consists of
Northern Alaska and Northern
Canada. It stretches from 52 N to
65 N and from 60 W to 165 W.
