Arctic land animals

Have you ever wondered what animals live in the Arctic Tundra? Well a lot of animals live there and there’s a lot of places where the Arctic Tundra is located, but I’m talking about the amazing polar bear. There’s nothing that can even compare to them, that goes for the Arctic Tundra as well. The Arctic Tundra is found in a variety of locations; across Northern Alaska, Canada, and in Siberia. I’m talking about the Alaskan tundra though. The Arctic Tundra has a very unique climate, long cold…

Canis lupus arctos is the scientific name for an arctic wolf. Although many people believe an arctic wolf can only be purely white, this is not true; an arctic wolf may have spots of black, yellow, or gray on its white fur. Due to the location of an arctic wolf, which many experts believe the Ice Age was what made them end up here, they have adapted to this weather. According to A-Z Animals, “ Arctic wolves are incredibly versatile and adaptive animals, able to withstand year round sub-zero…

4a. The Canadian Arctic: Geography, ecology, people and climate The Arctic is often defined using political, climatic, biological zoning and varies greatly amongst Arctic nations. Using geophysical definition as the land and sea, north of the Arctic Circle and which experiences polar day from April to September, and polar night from October to February. Overall, Arctic climate varies greatly by location with annual mean surface temperatures of 4C in Reykjavic Iceland, to -28 C at the crest of…

Another vertebrate that lives in the tundra is the polar bear. Polar bears can be found in northern areas of Canada, Alaska, Russia, and Norway. They are also located in various parts of Greenland. Polar bears are among the largest land mammals on earth. Males can weigh between 700-1400 pounds and stand between 8-10 feet tall. Females only weigh about 350-700 pounds. Polar bears appear to have a white coat, however, their hairs are really translucent and clear. The skin of the polar bear is…

Cross breeding plays an important part in the future of endangered animals. In the case of polar bears it may lead more quickly to the extinction of them. Within the past 10 years scientist have found several bears sharing DNA, in this case the two bears sharing the DNA are the polar bears and the grizzly bear. The earth has been heating up which means that the polar bears are getting pushed out of there land space, and are even starting to die off. The polar bears have to expand into the…

The Arctic. The last available source of untapped wealth in the form of natural resources Earth has to offer, and every country who can lay claim to it will try. The diminishing ice surrounding the North Pole means that it is now open to exploration and geological mapping to countries with an Arctic border, such as Canada, Denmark, Russia, Norway, and the United States. Every one of these countries are beginning to establish a presence in the Arctic (Smith, 2010, p. 651-652) due to the U.S.…

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) live throughout the ice-covered waters of the circumpolar Arctic, particularly in near shore annual ice over the continental shelf where biological productivity is highest. However, to a large degree under scenarios predicted by climate change models, these preferred sea ice habitats will be substantially altered. Spatial and temporal sea ice changes will lead to shifts in trophic interactions involving polar bears through reduced availability and abundance of their…

Block A1 The Tundra The Tu The Tundra is an environment near the North Pole in the Arctic Circle. The Tundra is the coldest of all biomes. The Tundra’s winters are extremely cold with temperatures below -34 C. The summers last only about two months and the temperatures are still very cold from 3 to 12 C.The Tundra is a type of biome…

But they have some similarities. I’m going to tell you about the Inuit and Dene peoples. I am going to tell you about the similarities and differences between the Dene and the Inuit. I’m going to tell you about the inuit. The inuit live in the arctic and they use to speak Athabaskan & Algonquin. Some of the words that are similar to us are Moccasins, Inuit, Lacrosse kayaks. The art that the inuit like to do are carving designs in wood and ivory. The food that the inuit eat are deer, polar…

Hypothesis: Majority of male grizzly bears go fishing early in the morning while the female grizzly bears and their cubs go fishing around the evening. By the evening, most of the male grizzlies bears are all fed up and less likely to be present near the river area. Female grizzlies go looking for food during this time to protect their cubs from aggressive male grizzly bears. Design: First I will randomly pick out 15 photos from 9:00am- 11:00am and pick another set of 15 photos from 4:00pm-…
