__Animal Facts.__
 * Many fish have antifreeze molecules in their veins. This helps them because the weather is cold. These fish are usually translucent.
 * Whales and seals keep warm by a layer of fat called blubber.
 * There are very few bugs in the tundra biome.
 * Many animals have shorter legs to lose less body heat than those with longer legs.
 * Some of the tundra animals like grizzly bears and the ground squirrel hibernate in the cold winter.
 * Small animals don't hibernate so they use the snow as insulation in their burrows and underground holes.

__Plant Facts.__
 * Some of the plants have hairy stems to keep from freezing.
 * There is not much water deep in the tundra soil so the plants roots are short.
 * Tundra plants are usually very close to the ground. This is because they have a short growing season, and they need to save energy to make seeds and not grow very tall.
 * The only tree that grows in the tundra is the Dwarf Willow Tree. It grows to a maximum of only 4 inches tall.

 * The tundra recieves less than 10 inches of precipitation a year. So it is like a frozen desert.
