Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Mammals like pine marten, moose, bobcats, black bears, fishers, Canada lynx, and grizzly bears are found in the taiga.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The taiga ecosystem supports quite a few wildlife that has adapted well to the harsh living conditions. The boreal forests of Canada comprise around 85 mammals, 130 fish species, and as many as 32, 000 insects. Reptiles, and amphibians find it challenging to survive in the cold climate.
