World biomes

What Is a Biome A biome is a large group of landscapes for wild plants ��, animals ��and nature. Each biome also has unique temperatures, animals and plants In this presentation I am going to show you information on these biomes The desert The rainforest The temperate forest And tundra

Desert The average temperature of the desert , in the day is 38 c whilst in the night it is-3. 9 c. Golden Barrel cactus Grant's Gazelles Addax antelopes also referred to as screwhorn or white antelopes They have long pale, twisted horns. The color of their coats is sandy blonde. Their horns have 2 or 3 twists in and a short tail which has a black hair puff at the end. Addax antelopes have a lifespan of about nineteen years. Dik-Dik The name Dik-dik refers to all the four small antelope species. The lower parts of their body including flanks, chest, belly, and legs are tan while the upper-body is grayish brown. They have black spots right below the inside corners of their eyes, . These animals have elongated snouts which have bellow-like muscles where blood passes through thus controlling their temperature. The Golden Barrel cactus is fittingly named for its large, bulbous shape. Adorned with golden yellow spines, this cactus makes for quite a striking centerpiece in any desert landscape — both in the wild and in your garden! The top of the barrel cactus is where its striking flowers bloom. Once pollinated, it closes up and the seeds begin to develop into fruit, which sit on top of the cactus until pulled out.

Rainforest Orchids The orchid flower is known as one of nature’s most exquisite flowers. They are also the largest family of flowers in the entire world. Orchids grow in all shapes and sizes, and because of their adaptable nature, they grow in almost all climates around the world, except cold! Orchids, like many flowers, depend on insects and birds for pollination. The conservation of the rainforest is vital for their existence. The average temperature of the rainforest is 2130 c. It is very wet with high humidity. With a average rainfall of 80 -40 inches per year.

Temperate forest Hawthorn The hawthorn is also well suited to form hedges, and its combination of sturdy twigs, hard wood, and numerous thorns makes it a formidable barrier to cattle and wildlife. Wood Mouse The wood mouse is sometimes known as the long-tailed field mouse and is widespread; it is probably most common in woodland, rough grassland gardens. Wood mice will gather food stores of berries and seeds in the autumn, which they keep in underground buroes. The temperature of the temperate forest is 10 -21 c. Goshawk The goshawk is one of the UK’s most elusive birds, These raptors are heatseeking missiles armed with a lethal arsenal of adaptations. Goshawks launch themselves through holes in the overgrowth by tucking up and thrusting their feet forward. They fold up their wings to sail through gaps in the trees, while their tail opens out like a third wing to maintain lift. With this extraordinary agility, goshawks are able to catch squirrels, wood pigeons and more. Wild boar Extinct for centuries, wild boar have returned to some of the UK’s woods. This is thanks to escapes from farms and possibly illegal releases. Their strong snouts are adapted to rooting through woodland soil, while wiry brown hair helps them blend in among the trees. Piglets are striped for extra camouflage. What makes wild boar most successful, however, is their incredibly varied diet. They will dine on virtually anything found in the forest, from worms and bird eggs to carrion and acorns.

Tundra Arctic wolf The Tundra, has an average temperature of 34 to -6 degrees C Arctic fox Arctic hare Plants You would think that plants would never live or survive in this biome, but the answer is quite a surprise. There is low diversity in organisms that live here, but many still flourish. Many lichens, mosses, and small shrubs flourish in the arctic tundra. The plants that live in the harsh permafrost soil usually adapt to the weather by being short and grouped Arctic wolves are a sub-species of together to resist winds and to be grey wolves. They spend their life in protected. The growing season in the Arctic tundra, higher than the tundra is short and lasts up to 60 days. northern tree line.

Due to its isolation, this wolf temperatures and low light intensities. is not under threat by habitat Compared to plants in other biomes they destruction and hunting as its southern use a minimal amount of energy. relatives are, and is the only wolf subspecies that is not threatened. The arctic fox is an incredibly hardy animal that can survive frigid Arctic temperatures as low as – 50°c in the treeless lands where it makes its home. It has furry soles, short ears, and a short muzzle—allimportant adaptations to the chilly clime. Arctic foxes live in burrows, and in a blizzard they may tunnel into the snow to create shelter. Arctic hare is small mammal that looks like a rabbit. There are 4 subspecies of Arctic hare that can be found in the northern parts of North America and Europe, on Greenland North Pole. Arctic hare inhabits cold and dry Arctic tundra. It can survive in extremely cold and harsh conditions. Even though Arctic hares were frequently hunted as a source of fur and meat in the past, they are still numerous and widespread in the
