northern wildlife
Boreal region animals
Northern wildlife refers to the animals native to arctic, subarctic, and boreal regions—moose, caribou, polar bears, wolves, and migratory birds that breed in tundra and taiga.
The phrase often appears in nature documentaries and conservation discussions: The preserve protects northern wildlife from industrial development.
It can also describe the general character of fauna adapted to cold climates and long winters.
