Taiga Biome

Taiga is the Russian word for forest and is the largest biome in the world. It stretches over Europe, Asia and North America. The Taiga is located near the top of the world, just below the Tundra biome.
The main seasons in the Taiga are winter and summer. The spring and autumn are so short, you hardly know they exist. It is either hot and humid or very cold in the Taiga.
 The winters in the Taiga are very cold with only snowfall. The summers are warm, rainy, and humid. A lot of coniferous trees grow in the taiga.
   Taiga doesn't have many plants or animals, but it has lots of insects in the summertime. Bird migrate here to nest and feed. But mammals that do live here are the mainly seed-eating squirrel, deer, moose, elk, and snowshoe hare. The predators for this area are grizzly bears, wolves, lynxes, yeah pretty scary.
    Overall the Taiga is a very beautiful hot and humid place, but it can also be cold and dangerous. There are not a lot of species of plants in the Taiga because of the harsh conditions. Not many plants can survive the extreme cold of the Taiga winter. There are some liches and mosses, but most plants are coniferous trees like pine, white spruce, hemlock, and douglas fir.
