A wide variety of plants species can be found on the tundra. Most of them tend to grow low to the ground to avoid high winds. Common types of tundra plants are Bearberry, Arctic moss, Caribou moss, Diamond Leaf Willow, Labrador Tea, Pasque Flower, and the Tufted Saxifrage. Lichens and mosses are important, particularly in the harshest climates. Animals in the tundra eat these plants to survive, gain energy, and to stay warm. Some plants are hairy to stay warm in the Tundra's climate.

Its Tundra and it is a treeless plain and known for the very cold temperatures, frost molded landscapes. But the Tundra is split in two different sections; Arctic and Alpine. The arctic tundra has low shrubs, grasses, 400 varieties of flowers, and moss. For animals that live there, there are lemmings, fox's, squirrels, polar bears, wolves, loons, ravens, sandpipers, and insects like mosquitoes, moths, and grasshoppers.

The alpine has a lot less of a habitat, for plants there are tussock grasses, dwarf trees, small-leafed shrubs, and heaths. For animals there are sheep, elk, marmots, and pikas.
