The Taiga

Climate:

The taiga is a needle-leaved forest that is always cold. In the winter it is usually anywhere from -65 degrees to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. In the summer, it can be anywhere from 30 degrees to 70 degrees.

Annual Rainfall:


In the taiga, it rains 12-33 inches a year. If you go there in the summer, be sure to bring your umbrella.

Local Wildlife:

The taiga is home to Balsam Firs, Black Spruce, Douglas-firs, Eastern Red Cedars, Jack Pines, Paper Birch, Siberian Spruce, White Firs, White Poplars, and White Spruce. These and other plants share a habitat with American Black Bears, Bald Eagles, Bobcats, the Canadian Lynx, Gray Wolves, Grizzly Bears, Long-Eared Owls, Red Foxes, River Otters, Snowshoe Rabbits, and Wolverines. The taiga is an awesome place to go for summer vacation, in case you haven't noticed.
