The way the plants in the Taiga biome survive is by the rainfall that they get. Many trees are evergreen so that plants can photosynthesize right away when temperatures rise .Many trees have needle-like leaves which shape loses less water and sheds snow more easily than broad leaves.Waxy coating on needles prevent evaporation needles are dark in color allowing more solar heat to be absorbed. Many trees have branches that droop downward to help shed excess snow to keep the branches from breaking.

The animals found in the Taiga biome are moose, caribou, bear, weasel, lynx, fox, wolf, deer, chipmunk and hawk.
