Who Lives Where?

Let's discuss who lives where!! We will discuss a list of animals and decide which biome/biomes they can live in as opposed to other biomes. You must choose one of the animals from the list and research to find out which biome/biomes it lives in. You must justify your answer with adaptations this animal has that makes it well suited for that particular biome. Let's look at an example.



This is a picture of caribou. They spend their summers feeding on the grasses and plants of the tundra. An adaptation they have to live in these harsh conditions are large hooves that are useful tools for life in the northlands. They are big enough to support the animal's heavy weight in the snow, and the hooves underside is scooped allowing it to dig in the snow for food. This is just one reason this animal lives in the tundra.


















Here is your list to choose from:
Prairie Dog
Porcupine
Red Fox
Moose
Rattlesnake
Buffalo
Monkey
Kangaroo Rat
