Animals of the taiga Animals of the taiga. Mammals living in the taiga include foxes, lynxes, bears, minks, squirrels, while larger ones include grey wolves and their preys: caribou, reindeers and moose. In winter, wolves hunt these herbivores in packs, often dividing themselves into two groups to encircle their preys before attacking them. Sometimes, either group upsets the herd of preys, and the other one creeps up on them. Nevertheless, only the young, wounded or older specimens are taken, while adults are spared.

Taiga ABIOTIC DATA. The taiga is characterized by a cold, harsh climate, low rate of precipitation (snow and rain), and short growing season. Long, severe winters last up to 6 months, with average temperatures below freezing.Summers are short, lasting maybe 50 to 100 days without frost.any conifer trees (evergreens with needles) grow in the taiga. These include evergreen spruce, fir, pine, and deciduous larch, or tamarack. In North America, one or two species of fir and one or two species of spruce are dominant.

The Siberian Taiga is one of the habitats they are best suited to live in. All wolf packs defend a territory, which can greatly vary in size.he Taiga biome lies between the tundra to the North and temperate forests to the South.Species that live in the Taiga biome would include many of the following: the American Black Bear, Bald Eagle, Bobcat, Canadian Lynx, Gray Wolf, Grizzly Bear, Long-Eared Owl, Red Fox, River Otter, Snowshoe Rabbit, and the Wolverine.

Taiga The boreal forest, or taiga, supports a relatively small range of animals due to the harshness of the climate. Canada's boreal forest includes 85 species of mammals, 130 species of fish, and an estimated 32,000 species of insects. Insects play a critical role as pollinators, decomposers, and as a part of the food web.

- The Taiga is also home to many animals that have special adaptations to the cold. It bears many of the trees that are used in housing and other industries, which we benefit from a lot. Some weaknesses of the Taiga Biome are the high rate of forest fire. Much of the land is forest, which is highly susceptible to fire.
