Detailed explanation-1: -Migration and hibernation are examples of behavioral adaptations used by animals in the Arctic tundra. The fact that many animals do not live year-round in the tundra means they leave or migrate for a length of time to warmer climates. Hibernation is a combination of behavioral and physical adaptations.
Detailed explanation-2: -Caribou migrate throughout the tundra in search of food and water. Hunters such as wolves prey on migratory caribou, deer, and moose. Rodents stay active, but burrow underground to avoid the cold.
Detailed explanation-3: -Animals need shelter and insulation in the Tundra. The animals here tend to have thicker and warmer feathers and fur. Many of them have larger bodies and shorter arms, legs and tails which helps them retain their heat better and prevent heat loss.
Detailed explanation-4: -Plants and animals have developed specific adaptations that allow them to survive the extreme climate of the tundra. These adaptations include thick fur, dense hair, retention of dead leaves, and feathered feet.
Detailed explanation-5: -Conifers have adapted to survive the long, cold winters and short summers of the taiga. Their needles contain very little sap, which helps prevent freezing. Their dark color and triangle-shaped sides help them catch and absorb as much of the sun’s light as possible.
