Tundra organisms have several key adaptations to survive in their harsh environment. Many plants, such as lichens and mosses, have low growth forms and deep root systems to withstand strong winds and prevent ice damage. Animals, like Arctic foxes and caribou, exhibit thick fur or blubber for insulation against cold temperatures, and many have white or gray coloration for camouflage in snowy landscapes. Additionally, some species have developed behavioral adaptations, such as migration or hibernation, to cope with extreme seasonal changes.
