Animal Habitats of the World :Taiga (Boreal Forest)

The taiga, also known as the boreal forest, is a vast cold-climate habitat dominated by coniferous trees such as spruce, pine, and fir. Stretching across northern regions of North America, Europe, and Asia, the taiga experiences long, harsh winters and short, cool summers.Taiga habitats support a range of wildlife adapted to cold temperatures and seasonal food availability, including large mammals, birds, and insects. These forests play a critical role in global carbon storage, climate regulation, and maintaining northern biodiversity.
