Obviously, due to the tundra's harsh climate and temperatures, the biome isn't home to many plants. Well, except for the small, pathetic little shrubs and bushes you first see. However, it may seem like that at first, but it isn't true. Under the snow and shrubs lie many different lichens, mosses, and fungi, and in the shade of the few trees in the tundra lie beautiful flowers. Here are some examples of plants in the tundra:

 

PLANT LIFE
ANIMAL LIFE

Just because humans aren't settled in an area doesn't mean that life doesn't thrive there. In the tundra biome, many majestic animals roam around the snow and alpine, all ready and decked-up for the usual sweater weather! Here are some examples of animals in the tundra:

It is nice to see the animals of the tundra roam around on their daily lives and basis, but some of these species have become endangered. Being endangered means being in small quantities, usually resulting from hunting, human urbanization/industrialization, or climate changer. One example of an endangered species in the tundra is the polar bear...

ENDANGERED SPECIES
HUMAN IMPACT

Humans are probably the most interesting and complex species alive on Earth, but sometimes, we can be the absolute worst. An example of this can be the tundra. Many of our actions affect the animals living in the tundra, and thousands of these precious animals are being killed in the process! One thing we do is mine...

BIOLOGY

Although the tundra might not be the ideal environment for humans, it is still home to many different species of plants, animals, and microorganisms. Much of which still haven't been discovered. This section discusses some of the animals and plants you may find in this biome, along with their respective adaptations that allow them to live here.
