There are many animals that live in the tundra. Some of these animals
include caribou, water birds, mosquitoes, polar bears, arctic fox, white wolves,
grizzly bears, gray falcons, bald eagles, bumble bees, squirrels, Norway lemmings,
shrew, and voles. Ptarmigan, ravens, snowy owls, arctichares, pikas, and pocket
gophers are also found in this vast biome. Birds migrate from the tundra during
the colder months. During winter you may not see a lot of animals there.
One of the animals found in the tundra is a pika. A pika is a hamster type
animal. It is 20cm long and is a cute, little, brown, fuzzy tan animal. The pika eats
grass and herbs, therefore it is a herbivore. Many carnivores feed upon the pika.
It survives by living in holes in the ground and storing grass, flowers, and herbs.
This animal can also be found in grassland biome. It is mostly found in the tundras
in North America.
Another animal that is common in the tundra is a Norway lemming.
This is a small, wide, fluffy, guinea pig type animal. It can grow to be 13-15 cm long.
This animal also eats grass and it survives by feeding wen I can and staying away
from predators. It can also be found in the grassland biome.
Finally polar bears live in the tundra region. They are big, fluffy, white
bears that can grow 7 ¼ - 8 ¼ feet tall. They prey upon large and small mammals,
fish, birds, berries and leaves. Polar bears are found in the coasts, tundra, living on
shore line and ice floats.
