Wildlife~
In the tundra you can usually find animals that have adaptations for the extreme cold environment. They will have heavy coats and fur, also they can have feathers or fur that keep them warm while swimming in the freezing ocean. The animal life you can usually find would be birds, reindeer, foxes, bears, seals, and walruses. Also the plant life is not found all over the tundra because the coldness cant support a wide variety of plants. The plants in the tundra are used to the cold, freezing weather and can store limited water in them and they are much like the plants in the desert.
