Tundra Biome Animals Food Chain
Polar bears are a very key part of the arctic tundra biome, being at the top of the food chain and a powerful predator.
Tundra biome animals food chain. A simple explanation of the food chain in the tundra region. There are 5 food chains cards and i have 5 teams. The alpine tundra is very cold, located on top of high mountains, often with very few trees and little vegetative cover.
Whenever a team has a complete food chain, they yell out “food chain.” if the food chain is complete and correct, the team earns 10. The term “tundra” is taken from the finnish word for “treeless plain.” it is found at earth’s extremes. As you can see livernorts are geting eaten by pikas ,grasses are being eaten by pikas,musk ox, caribou, lemmings ,and brown bears.
Arctic tundra wolves then feed on the arctic foxes. Producers here include grasses, lichens, and caribou moss. If the grass did not exist then the smaller animals could not eat then the smaller animals would die and the bigger animals would not have anything to eat.
Predators hunt herbivores, plant eating animals, such as caribou, lemmings, and hares. I point out that each column is one food chain. They are icy for a larger part of the year.
The arctic tundra is located on the northern coasts of north america, asia and europe, while antarctica and some of its islands contain the smaller antarctic tundra. Arctic hares are then consumed by arctic foxes. The top soil does thaw, but below is permafrost, subsoil that remains frozen year round.
Global warming is such a damaging epidemic, especially when it comes to the destruction of arctic habitats. Climate change appears to be causing permafrost to thaw, changing the ecological balance in the tundra and threatening some animals that live in this wild landscape. The picture to the left is an example of one.
