Detailed explanation-1: -Many kinds of animals have adapted to live in the cold, subarctic climate of the taiga. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most animals migrate to warmer climates once the cold weather begins. 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: -Most animals of the taiga are well adapted to the cold and survive it easily if they have enough food to maintain an energy balance through the winter. 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.
