Here in northern Canada you will find many trees that have needle like leaves & produce seeds in cones such as pine, fir, & spruce trees. Winters are very cold with much snow & summers are warm enough to melt the snow and bring much rain. Trees have a waxy covering, a necessary adaptation to keep water from evaporating since much of the year the water is frozen. Many herbivores live here such as deer, elk, moose, & beavers that attract large predators such as wolves, bears, & lynxes.

Extremely cold & dry biome located in the artic regions. Receives little precipitation like the desert but here most of the soil is permanently frozen. No trees grow here because of the permafrost not allowing for roots to grow. The top layer of soil thaws for grass to grow. Herbivores graze on the grass or lichen & have thick fur to withstand the freezing climate
