Let's learn about the animals fond in the taiga forest and how they survive.
In Taiga forest mostly the large animals feed on plants, fruits and other seeds. The Chipmunks and squirrels feed on nuts and other small fruits. Their adaptations help them stay warm, hide, and defend themselves. In the harsh winter months, many animals have thick coats to keep them warm.
For example, the Siberian Tiger has a thick coat, long legs, and large paws. Its long legs help the tiger to walk through deep snow. Its large paws act like snowshoes.
Some insects feed on the decomposing animals, or the wood of the tree. The Reindeer is the largest plant eater, they migrate from tundra to taiga region in winters. The Wood Bison feed on grass and other plants, the Bison is a rare animal.
The Wolfs hunt in packs, they hunt the other herbivores animals. Some animals in the Taiga have adaptations for defense. The porcupine has quills that it uses to keep predators at bay.
If a predator tries to kill the porcupine anyway, it will get the quills stuck in its body. Some animals have adaptations that camouflage them. Animals like the snowshoe hare turn brown in the summer and turn white in the winter.
