Detailed explanation-1: -Moose are the largest browsing animals in the taiga. In the summer they eat willow and broad-leaved trees and also wade in lakes and ponds to consume aquatic plants. Throughout the winter moose eat large quantities of woody twigs and buds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Some animals have adapted to life in the taiga by hibernating when temperatures drop. Other animals have adapted to the extreme cold temperatures by producing a layer of insulating feathers or fur to protect them from the cold.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mammals like pine marten, moose, bobcats, black bears, fishers, Canada lynx, and grizzly bears are found in the taiga.

Detailed explanation-4: -The taiga is a forest of the cold, subarctic region. The subarctic is an area of the Northern Hemisphere that lies just south of the Arctic Circle. The taiga lies between the tundra to the north and temperate forests to the south. Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Siberia have taigas.
