Tundra Region Animals Names. Seal, walrus and whales are typical of the seas in the polar regions. Permafrost is a permanently frozen sublayer of soil.
The tundra biome covers a large area of land in the region just south of the arctic ice caps. And there are antarctic tundras (antarctic region) and alpine tundra ( on mountain tops) as well. The animals and plants of arctic region are known for their adaptations which protect them from the harsh weather.
They used to make nest and breed within arctic tundra region, at heavy.
Snow covers the ground for nine months of the year when plants cannot grow. Rockhopper penguin, macaroni penguin, king penguin, gentoo penguin, emperor penguin, adelie penguin, and chinstrap penguin are the penguins of antarctica. Animals in the tundra are also adapted to extreme conditions, and they take advantage of the temporary explosion of plant and insect life in the short growing season. Although it is one of the most inhospitable habitats in the world, there are surprisingly quite a few interesting plants and animals that exist here.
