Question

As an off forest, trees provide fairly safe nesting places for birds. Predators such as lynx and wolf hunt small animals and sometimes will hunt the sick or young of larger animals, such as elk or moose. Which biome supports this?

Answer 1

Answer: Terrestrial Biome: Northern coniferous forest

Explanation:

Terrestrial Biome: Northern coniferous forest are also known as taiga or boreal forest.

Climate: Wet, short summers and long, cold winters. During winter, when water can remain frozen for months, humidity is scarce.

Soil: Dry, wet, acidic and deficient in nutrients.

Plants: Plants include conifers with evergreen needles such as spruce, fir and pine that avoid water loss.

Animals: Most migratory birds come during the summer, while the mammals and birds that live all year round in the taiga have thick layers of insulation that maintain body heat. Herbivorous animals including caribou, moose, and snowshoe hares consume whatever vegetation they can encounter during the cold winters. Others, like the black bear, are hibernating for winter. Lynx, grey wolves, and wolvers are predatory mammals.

Predators lynx and wolf hunt small animals and other sick animals for the survival.
