  4. Types of Taiga Forest • Closed Forest • Consists of many closely-spaced trees with mossy ground. • Lichen Woodland • Has trees that are farther-spaced apart and lichen ground cover. More common in the northernmost taiga.

  5. Food Web • Photosynthesizers • Lichens • Mosses • Pine Trees • Herbivores • Snowshoe Hare • North American Moose • Voles • Carnivores • Bobcat • Gray Wolf • North American Wolverine • Omnivores • Black Bear • River Otter • Raccoon

  6. Adaption • Plant • Evergreen Tree • Adapted a cone-shape to help snow slide off them so their branches won’t break. Also, they have thin waxy needles to protect against cold temperatures as well as bark that grows thicker to protect it from fires. Grow close together. • Animal • Black Bear • Thick shaggy fur to protect them from the cold and they have claws the right length to climb trees. • Bird • Long Eared Owl • Has long ears to help it hunt in the night. One ear is bigger and higher on the head with little tufts of feathers to enhance hearing. Creating a special three-dimensional hearing.

  7. Geologic Features • Canadian Shield • Extremely old bedrock • The region north of the Great Slave Lake contains the oldest rock on the planet. • Has rolling hills with depressions that led to 1.5 million lakes
