What are some endangered animals that live in the tundra?

Question

I have to write a paper about this for school.

Answer 1

There are two main types of tundra: arctic and alpine. The first is in the arctic regions of Canada, Alaska, and Russia obviously; the other is high up in the mountains such as the Andes or Himalayas, for instance.

You have to scroll down quite a bit at these links, but the endangered animals of the tundra are Aleutian Canada goose, bald eagle, grizzly bear, polar bear, northern lynx, woodland caribou, and, in mountainous tundras obviously, the yak.

Answer 2

I know that the snow fox is one,because of either people poaching them for their skins and fur,as well as polar bears populations are starting to go down,due to lack of food in it's natural enviorment,or people that shoot to kill them on sight,because they are a natural born predators to animals and can take down a human if it's protecting it's territory,or cubs,and conciders the human as being a threat to it's territory or it's offspring cubs.Also some of the Whales in that area are starting to slim out in numbers because of whaling ships taking in more than what they need to,or the ships that end up causing oil spills on the coastlines and in the center of the oceanlines closer to the tundra areas,which in terms kills off not only the wildlife,but destroys and poisons off the food supplies needed,as well as parts of the ecological,geological,and biological areas and life to live within or around to survive and function at all.

Answer 3

Polar Bears live on the tundra in the summer and on the sea ice in the winter, they are endangered in Alaska, but in Canada due to strict management of their habitat and hunting they are doing fine.

Several birds live in the Canadian Arctic tundra and some like the "Eskimo Curlew" are endangered.

The "Whooping Crane" lives in the US in the winter but goes to the edge of the tundra to nest in the summer, they are endangered but slowly increasing in number due to the local people in both areas taking care of them.

There are several others so look at the other answers, tigers don't live on the tundra they live in the mountains

Answer 4

One of them might be the White Tiger.
