The tundra biome contains a variety ofvegetation, long cold winter seasonsand short cool summer seasons. In the
tundra region there are seals, polarbears, musk ox's, caribous, snow geeseand Canadian geese. The averagetemperature in the tundra region is
colder than 23 degrees Fahrenheit. Inorder to survive in the tundra biome,musk oxs and polar bears have thickfur for insulation.

The taiga biome contains denseconiferous forests that are separatedby bodies of water, low light, and
very cold winters. In the taiga region,there are woodland caribou, rabbits,brown bears, beaver, lynx andwolves. The conifer tree is taigasmost dominant and well adaptedtree. The conifer tree has branchesthat hang downward in order to
prevent snow build up with a pointysha e and flexible trunk to handle

The Deciduous Forest exists in dry or
moist climates and the averagetemperature is approximately 50degrees Fahrenheit. The biome isdominated by deciduous trees and
contains squirrels, raccoons, deerand black bears. The squirrels andraccoons have adapted to the
conditions of the deciduous forest by

The grassland biome consists of plantsand grasses. Grasslands vary inclimate and the winters are dry while
the summers are short and wet. Theaverage temperature during summeris 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Grasslandsget about 10 to 30 inches of rain per
year. Grasshoppers, caterpillars,ostriches, owls, giraffes, zebras andtermites live in grasslands. The giraffe

The chaparral biome exists in warmtemperatures and is dominated by
shrubs and heavy vegetation. Coyotes,jackrabbits, alligators, lizards andhorned toads live in the chaparral.
Jackrabbits have adapted by, cooling
themselves by sending a lot of blood tothere ears in order to release heat fromthere bodies.

The Savanna has scattered trees andapproximately 50 to 130 centimeters of
rainfall per year. The averagetemperature in the savanna is 70degrees Fahrenheit. There are lions,
elephants, wild dogs, koala bears andzebras in the savanna. The elephanthas adapted to the savanna by usingthere long trunks to pick up and carryfood.

The desert is very hot with little rainfall. It
receives about 10 inches of rainfall peryear. There are armadillos, coyotes,camels, foxes, wild horses and gophers.The gophers have adapted to the deserts
living conditions by using their forelegs,elongated claws and their teeth fordigging holes.

The tropical rainforest consists of a warmclimate and gets an average of 50 to 260
inches of rainfall per year. There aremonkeys, sloths, parrots, toucans, snakes,lizards and toads. The Sloths have adaptedto the rainforest by moving slowly in order
to become harder to see and they arecovered with a greenish layer of algaewhich camouflages their fur.

The Abyssal Zone is a sediment-covered part of the deep ocean floor
that exists at depths greater than6,500 ft below sea level. Abyssalplains do not support abundantaquatic life and no adaptations canbe cited.

The Coral reefs exist in warm, shallow,tropical marine waters that have enoughlight to all the reefs to grow. The watertemperature is between74-78F and has high
levels of oxygen. In the coral reefs there aresea worms, sponges, shrimp, crabs, jellyfish,oysters, sea anemones and turtles. Spongesinhabit corals for the purpose of protection
from predators and Sea worms use the coralsfor food.

The wetlands either contain freshwateror saltwater and has waterlogged soil.
There are beavers, birds, snakes,
fishes, turtles, raccoons, alligators andshellfish. Beavers are well adapted tothe conditions of the wetlands. They
have webbed feet and a flat tail forswimming.

Lakes are bodies of freshwater thatcontain living organisms at low salinitylevels. Temperatures that are between
50 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit supportthe lives of fishes. There are bullfrogs,fishes, birds, pelicans, platypus and
lizards. The platypus legs are shortand powerful, there feet are webbedand there large claws are useful for
burrowing.
