Tundra Animals

As it is very cold animals that live in Tundra land they must be able to cope with the coldness. Here is a list of the animals that can adapt to the extreme weathers.

• Polar Bears
• Penguins (any breed)
• Artic Foxes
• Wolves
• And many more

These animals either have thick fur coats or huddle together to keep warm. (some breed of penguins)

Avalanches

Avalanches can happen in the tundra. They are enormous piles of snow that fall down and can squash things such as people and animals. You might be thinking that it is just snow but some snow has ice inside it meaning it is very hard. They don't have to be snow some can be ice. People die from avalanches even though they might be extremely strong. They squash you in big piles.
