The plants in a taiga are not that diverse because of the climate. Evergreen trees are the most common type of tree that is in a taiga forest. Lichen and mosses also survive in taiga forests. Before the Europeans settled here, beavers chopped down trees and built dams and lived in harmony with the other animals in the taiga forest.

This is an ermine. It changes from brown to grey to white in the winter to blend in camouflage.

Animals who permanently live in a taiga area go through cold winters and warm summers. The permanent residents have long, thick fur. The snowshoe hare like in the picture changes color in the winter to blend in with the snow.

A Taiga come from a Russian word meaning a moist subarctic forest dominated by conifers. Conifers are come bearing, needle-leaved, evergreen tress such as pines, spruces, and fir.
