There are about 1,000 indigenous tribes in the rainforests of the world.
Animals that live in the tundra have special adaptations that allow them to
survive the extreme temperatures and conditions that are present in a
tundra. A good example of an animal with special adaptations is
the Arctic Fox. The Arctic Fox has short ears and a short, round
body with a thick coat to minimize the amount of skin exposed to the
frigid air. There is a low amount of biodiversity in the tundra so
fluctuations in one animal population will effect populations in
another. An example of this would be that if in a certain year
there is a lower amount of Lemmings than usual, then the population of
Snowy Owls, who feed mostly on Lemmings, will also decrease.
