The Taiga, also known as the Boreal Forest, is located in the northern regions of Canada and Siberia. It has long, cold winters and short, mild summers due to its northern latitude. Coniferous trees like pine and spruce dominate the Taiga as they are adapted to its climate with waxy leaves and thick bark. Animals in the Taiga have adaptations like thick fur, large padded feet, and hibernation to survive the harsh winters with little food and long periods of cold temperatures.
