Animals of the Tundra
The tundra is a type of wide, treeless plain that spreads across the Arctic regions of Asia, Europe, and North America. This unique biome is characterized by flat topography and a frigid climate. It's an inhospitable landscape where the subsoil is permanently frozen. But somehow, diverse species are able to survive in this stark environment. From Arctic hares to snowy owls to grizzly bears, the books in this set explore the special adaptations that tundra animals have developed to survive in this distinctive ecosystem.
