The tundra biome has very little rainfall and long, icy cold winters with short, cool summers. Plants in the tundra grow close to the ground and have shallow roots to access melting snow. Animals like caribou and musk ox have thick fur and layers of fat to stay warm, and many hibernate through the winter, while birds migrate south.
