A biome is a vast natural region on Earth characterized by unique vegetation, animals, and climate.
Tropical Rainforest: Located close to the equator, where there are high temperatures and continuous rainfall, providing a home for a wide range of species such as tall trees, insects, birds, and mammals.
Desert: It is distinguished by low precipitation and can be either hot (for example, Sahara) or cold (like Antarctica). Flora like cacti and fauna such as lizards and snakes have evolved to retain water.
Savanna: These are grasslands with sporadic trees, primarily found in places like Africa. They experience seasonal rainfall, which sustains herbivores like elephants and carnivores like lions.
Temperate Deciduous Forest: These areas have moderate temperatures and rainfall, and are populated by trees that shed their leaves annually. The wildlife inhabitants include deer, foxes, and birds.
Taiga (Boreal Forest): Located in the far northern latitudes with cold climates and consisting of coniferous trees. It is home to animals such as bears, moose, and wolves.
Tundra:located near the Arctic Circle, is very cold and has permafrost with minimal plant life such as mosses. It is home to animals like caribou and arctic foxes.
Grassland: also called prairies or steppes, has moderate rainfall and is mostly covered with grasses, providing a habitat for herbivores like bison and predators like wolves.
