Alaska’s tundra support numerous avian migratory species during all four seasons, providing a breeding, rearing, staging, refugee and overwintering habitat. Some mammalian species that live in the Alaskan tundra are; muskox, caribou, foxes, wolves, lemmings and raptors. Some of the animals, such as the caribou, depend on tundra vegetation to survive the year. Foxes are dependent on the polar bear for the majority of its meals. For example, as soon as a polar bear is done consuming a seal, the arctic fox will devour the remainders left of the seal, since a polar bear is unable to consume an entire seal.
