My animal of the taiga is the pileated woodpecker. This woodpecker adapts to the taiga winter because of the coniferous trees. The coniferous trees supplies the woodpecker with cones. The pileated woodpecker drill holes into trees and hammer the food in. Pileated woodpeckers also migrate to suburban areas over the winter!

My Taiga animal is also the Pileated Woodpecker. During the Taiga winters, it simply migrates to other warmer places such as the USA and returns to the Taiga at warmer times. Their usual places for migrating are usually suburban areas, move-down slopes and stream side forests. They also stay high up in the trees to avoid the Black Rat snake.

The Taiga winters are extremely cold, below freezing most of the time ,but moose are well adapted to the winters. the moose skin and fur will grow thicker in the winter so it will keep then nice and warm and let them survive in the cold days. And also there hooves are spread far apart so that it is harder for them to sink in the deep thick snow.the moose is very well adapted to life in the Taiga biome.

The porcupine's most known adaptation are the quills protecting it's body from harm. This animal is one of a kind with the ability to climb, dig and swim. It swims thanks to it's hollow quills which keep it afloat. The porcupine will eat practically all vegetation including tree bark, twigs, berries and flowers. Sadly, having a vulnerable belly isn't useful. predators such as the fisher use this to their advantage, flipping the animal over and striking.

My animal is the gray wolf. It has thick furs and long hairs to adapt to the taiga winters. It has got good stamina and can run very fast to catch it's prey. It can see in the night and has got something called tapetum that helps it's night vision.

My animal of the Taiga is the Pileated Woodpecker in the winter the Pileated Woodpeckers move to stream-side forest, suburban areas or just move to more downslope areas. The Pileated Woodpeckers have this kind of thing where they easily adapt to their new environment where ever they are, that is why when things like people chopping down trees affect their life in living but they can easily get used to it and find a new home.

My animal is the moose, during the winter it will eat woody plants and branches or moss. In summer, it eats leaves and fruit if possible. In spring they eat as much food as possible to survive the long winter. Moose can be recognized by their huge antlers and their muzzle that hangs over their chin like a beard. They also migrate during the winter to warmer places like North America. Following an 8 month gestation, the female gives birth to a calf. The giant hooves act as snow shoes to support the heavy animal that can weigh up to 1800 pounds in thick snow.

The moose is the largest family member of the deer family and it is the tallest mammal in North America. The moose is found at the northern Europe and Asia but at the Taiga it is freezing there so how to they survive? Moose are well adapted to the winter because moose's hair is hollow which helps to keep the moose warm in the Taiga winter. Moose are very territorial; it is never a good idea to approach a moose. The moose well adapted at the Taiga biome.

My animal is the red fox. The red fox vomits to run faster while being chased by enemies. It has a very highly variable habitat. They can use their sharp claws to dig into their den or to bury food. Claws also serve preys. They have sharp teeth to help them shred and tear food. They are omnivores. The red fox has long legs to chase prey and they have a great sense of hearing, smell and sight. They also turn white during the winter. The following animals are predetors of the red fox:

My animal is the moose, and it lives in the forested areas in North America . It feeds on twigs, shrubs, moss and other types of plants. Sometimes, they even go out for a swim to eat lily pads! The moose mates during early fall, and 2 males fight against each other using their horns. One male looses, and one wins. The loser runs away in distress, while the other gets to do stuff (I'm not mentioning about it because it is inappropriate ) with the female. In the end of mating season, ALL males loose their horns and start growing new ones.Also, I've learned that calves can walk when they are only 1 day old!!!! Imagine if we could do that.

The moose adapts to the taiga using its thick fur coat. In the summer, moose have a hard time surviving because the blazing hot summers with the thick fur coat of the moose is a bad combination. So, it decides to take a swim in a nearby lake to cool off.but, in the freezing winter that can drop down to negative 15 degrees, it really helps the moose.it can take a stroll comfortably without even noticing it is winter!

my animal is the porcupine. It will find a tree in the winter, and chew a hole, and stay in the hole for the rest of his/her winter. The porcupine will also feed on the tree if it is hungry. the porcupine competes against hares, beavers and other animals about the same size as it.

My animal is the red fox where you can mostly find in country sides. The red fox is sly and intelligent! They don't migratate or hibernate in the winter, but that time is where they find a pair. The red fox digs for hole with it's sharp claws to make a place to sleep. The mother usually gives birth to 4 to 10 cubs at a time. The parents teach the kids to hunt for food and attact other animals. The red fox eats and attacts mostly farm animals and small animals, for example chikens, ducks, rabbits etc.

My animal is the common barn owl. It lives everywhere in the world apart from Antarctica and Micronesia. This animal adapts to the cold taiga winters by protecting itself with a layer of down, a feather that keeps all birds warm. This bird eats small rodents such as voles and mice. It roosts in trees with hollows (holes) in them or completely hollow trees. Another relative of the barn owl is the grass owl. Grass owl are not to be confused with barn owls as they only live in Asia and Africa.

My taiga animal is the porcupine. To defend itself, it has modified hairs (quills) and there are usually over 30,000 quills on a single porcupine! The quills can pierce an aluminium can and a porcupine can regrow the ones they lost. Because the quills are hollow, they help the porcupine float and swim better. The porcupine also has sharp claws, strong leg muscles and a balancing tale to help it climb trees. You can find porcupines in coniferous, deciduous, and mixed forests in North America, South America, Africa, Europe and Asia. They are herbivores and usually eat bark, berries, twigs, flowers and any other vegetation. If a porcupine strips too much bark on a tree, it can bring it down! I the winter, they usually just stay in a acre of a den to find food (usually bark) which has only a bit more nutritional value of cardboard. In the summer and fall, it builds up on body fat to keep it warm in the freezing winter. Its the only rodent who does that!

There are different animals in Taiga and they have various ways to adapt to the Taiga winter. My animal is owl. Snowy owls have a dense layer of down, overlaid with legs and toes and enables the bird to maintain a steady body temperature. In facing strong wind, owls may seek shelter by crouching on the ground behind a windbreak. Some Snowy owls also migrate to more southerly latitudes. On the winter range, Snowy owls also feed on small rodents, then they will have enough food to maintain their energy to fight against the cold weather.

My animal is Grizzly Bear. Their paws are similar to snow-boots, so their paw won't freeze in the ice. Grizzly Bears eat a huge amount of food at Fall so they don't need any food for Winter, but still they save energy at Winter by staying at a light sleep. Grizzly Bears also have a lump on their shoulder that helps them run faster.

Pet insurance is not very widespread among the owners and even those who do have insurance are not aware of all the details their insurance. A reform that would help the customers make decisions on the type of insurance they need is underway.
