tundra animals
Permafrost region wildlife
Animals adapted to survive in tundra regions—the cold, treeless areas of the Arctic and high mountains.
Caribou, musk oxen, arctic foxes, snowy owls, and lemmings are classic examples.
Tundra animals typically have thick fur or feathers, compact bodies to conserve heat, and seasonal behaviors like migration or burrowing: We spotted several tundra animals during our trip to Alaska.
