ARCTIC TUNDRA ELLA SABO, KINSEY SPERLING, GRACE ZOLKOWSKI
ARCTIC TUNDRA LOCATIONS The areas highlighted in blue are the areas where the biome is. Notice these areas are pretty far away from the equator, which is part of the reason why it is always cold.
SURVIVAL ITEMS Ella: A insulated water bottle, a lighter, extra clothing, knife, and sleeping bags. Kinsey: jackets, water bottles, sleeping bag, flashlight, and knife Grace: insulated clothing, blankets, tent, flashlight, no cook food

LIST OF NATIVE ANIMALS CAN BE EATEN (NOT ENDANGERED SPECIES) - AT LEAST SIX. WHAT ADOPTIONS DO THESE ANIMALS HAVE TO HAVE SURVIVED YOUR BIOME? Artic fox- They have thick fur and fluffy tail to help it survive Lemming- Their coats change to a white during the winter and camouflage into the snow Artic Hare- Their coat grows longer and thicker during the winter months also their white coat makes the camouflage also Moth- They have different wing patterns and colors to help them camouflage in with the ground Snow Bunting- They migrate to the tundra during the summer months and they nest in the rocky areas Wolve- They have natural thick fur and is highly insulating their bodies.
ENERGY Based on the location of the Arctic Tundra, renewable energy is hard to find. In the past few years, the Arctic tundra gets energy from wind and solar power. The high winds and sun provide majority of the energy. This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA
INDIGENOUS PLANTS Reindeer moss, Liverwort, Crustose, and Foliose lichen is edible. Plants have adapted to the Arctic Tundra by acquiring the ability to grow under the snow This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY
SHELTER As for shelter there isn t many options. Since it is unlikely for people to live in the tundra, there are no human built shelters. The Arctic Tundra has absolutely no trees making it difficult to have covering Therefore the only option of shelter would be a igloo or a snow cave Both concepts are similar as to using the snow as a covering
THREATENING ORGANISMS Two common animals that could possibly pose a threat are polar bears and arctic foxes. To defend ourselves we will just stay in our snow cave and when we need to find food we will take necessary supplies in case these animals attack.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT After the show leaves the Arctic Tundra, many things will be different More and more animals will die out, because our main sources of food are the plants There is a chance that the animals on the top of the food chain will die out due to the shortages of food.
