Taiga

[] [] []

The word "Taiga" is Russian for dense evergreen forest. The Taiga is the largest biome in the world. In the summer, the days are long, the ice thaws, the snow melts, and is often rainy. Insects lay their eggs in the water once the snow melts in the spring. These insects attract many other species such as the spruce grouse and mammals like pine marten, moose, wolf, fisher, Canada lynx, and grizzly bear.
