Question
Bring out the difference between the wildlife of the tropical and taiga forests of North America
Solution
The tropical forests are dense and large animals are rare. Instead a variety of birds, monkeys, insects, and reptiles thrive in these forests. The animals of the taiga forests have thick fur to protect them from extreme cold. Some animals hibernate or sleep all through winters. The thick layers of fat under their skin proves useful during this period. Bears, wolves, minks, silver foxes, rnooses, elks, and beavers are commonly found in taiga forests of North America.
