Insect#2

The mosquito is a common flying insect that is found around the world. There are about 2,700 species of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can fly about 1 to 1.5 miles per hour. Females drink blood and the nectar of plants. The males only sip plant nectar. When a female bites, she also injects an anticoagulant Chemical into the prey to keep the victim's blood flowing. She finds her victims by sight and smell, and also by detecting their warmth. Not all mosquito species bite humans.

Insect#1

The Arctic springtail, also known as the snow flea, is a tiny six-legged insect that grows up to 1/3-inch long. Springtails lack wings and are named for their ability to jump when in danger. Their body color can be pale brown, white, purple or red and some have patterns. Springtails feed on organic waste on the tundra's forest floor. They survive the freezing temperatures by dehydrating into a small husk. Then when temperatures warm during the summer the springtails re-hydrate and continue activities including searching for food.

Mammal#4

Adult male polar bears weigh from 775 to 1,200 pounds. A few weigh more than 1,200 pound, Females normally weigh 330 to 650 pounds. Polar bears are white with fluffy fur and a black nose. They sit by the open water and wait for seals to come to land and then they eat them. Female bears give birth to 2 cubs at the most.Cubs stay with their moms until they are 2 to 2 1/2 years.

Bird #4

The Rock Ptarmigan is 34-36 cm long, 13-14 inch long. the wing spand is 54-60 cm wide. They live in mountains and make their homes in rocks high up so no preators can eat the young. They mostly eat birch and willow buds, but also eat seeds, flowers, leaves, and berries. The are white in the winter and brown in the summer. The prey of this bird would be another bird like an eagle. Befor they make the male will croak really loudly and a female will come, the male then straightens the comb and they mate.

Plant#2

The arctic willow is 15-20 cm in height. It has many different shapes, but sometimes has long trailing branches that root where they touch the surface. Salix arctica has made many adaptations to the cold climate of the North American tundra. In its strongest growth season the Salix arctica forms a pesticide to keep insects like the Arctic woolly bear away. It has also adapted to the permafrost by growing a shallow root system. The leaves of the Salix arctica have also adapted to the cold weather by growing long fuzzy hairs. The Tundra is a delicate place where tire tracks can last for years. The Arctic willow has adapted well in these frigid non-fertile conditions.

Plant#1

Arctic moss is a plant found growing on the bottom of tundra lake beds and in and around bogs and fens. It is a member of the Siberian tundra biome. Like all mosses, Arctic moss is a bryophyte. They have rhizoids (tiny rootlets) instead of roots. They never have wood stems. They have tiny leaves, usually only one cell thick. There are lots of leaves on the stem. They do not have flowers. They can either reproduce by growing shoots or by sending out spores, which need to be wet to survive. The Arctic moss has adapted well to its cold climate. When it is not growing, it stores nutrients so new leaves can be made quickly next spring. The more leaves the more they can photosynthesize. It is adapted to the incredibly strong winds because it grows near to the ground. Because it can grow under water it is protected from the drying winds and cold, dry air of the frozen tundra. Its long life and slow growth are probably adaptations to the short growing season and the cold. In the arctic, moss covers the ground and warms it up allowing other plants to grow. It is eaten by migrating animals such as birds. Some type of arctic moss was frozen for thousands of years and is helping scientists learn about life on our planet.

Bird #3

The male snow bunting is 6 1/4 cm almost pure white, except for his black back, central tail and primary wing feathers. In winter, his white plumage becomes rusty brown. The female has a gray-brown head and back in summer and is simply paler and duller in winter. The snow bunting spends much of its time feeding on seeds and insects on the ground, where it can run quickly and hop.  The nest is made from dead grass, moss and lichen and is among stones. The female lays 4 to 6 eggs, which she incubates for 10 to 15 days. The male bird feeds his mate during the incubation period and helps to feed the young.

Bird #2

The rock ptarmigans are 13-15 in a half inches tall they depend on camouflage for defense, and to achieve this in the changing background of their northerly range, they adopt different plumages. The summer plumage is mottled to blend with the forest, while during the winter snows ptarmigans have white plumage, only the tail feathers remaining dark. Rock ptarmigans feed on leaves, buds, fruits and seeds and on some insects in the summer.  They are monogamous birds; the male defends a small territory at the breeding grounds. The female lays 6 to 9 eggs in a leaf-lined hollow on the ground and incubates them for 24 to 26 days. The cygnets must make the long migration south when only 80 to 90 days old.

Bird #1

The Gyrfalcon can be dark, white or gray. 20-25 in tall. They are Most breed north of the timberline and remain in the Arctic all year, but some populations migrate south for the winter. When hunting It can make rapid dives on prey, like the peregrine, but this is less characteristic. Birds are its main prey, although it feeds on some mammals, particularly in winter. Rock ptarmigan and willow grouse make up the bulk of the gyrfalcon's diet, and their numbers can affect its breeding rate. In years when these birds are abundant, gyrfalcons produce large clutches, but in years of scarcity they lay only a couple of eggs or do not breed at all.  Gyrfalcons perform display flights when courting. When the young hatch, both parents bring food to them.

Mammal #3

Snowshoe Hare

The snowshoe hare has large back feet to jump through the high snow. They are usually 15-20 inch long and weigh up to 2-4 pounds. they have long ears to gather sound from predators. Their front teeth are long and sharp so that they can gnaw on tree bark and other woody plants. They have sensitive nose and long wiskers for feeding at night. They bread in early march through august, after 36 days it gives birth to about 3-4 young. Ten days after they are born they start to eat grass..The babies reach adult size in about 5 months and usually live up to 2 years.

Mammal #2

Sea Lion

The sea lion is a brown torpedo shaped mammal. It is shaped as a torpedo so that it can swim fast in the watter but also move on land easly.
They can stay under watter up to 40 minuts without taking a breath. They swim up to 25 mi an hour. They are near sighted animals but see better under watter. They live up to 18 years. Females come to shore with a large male of their pick to give birth. They carry the pup for about 11 months then give a live birth. Pups can wiegh up to 50lb at birth and grow up to 200lbs and 6ft long in a single year. Males weigh up to 1500 to 1 tonand 12ft long. Females weigh up to 700lbs and 9ft long. They feed on small fish.

Mammal #1

Arctic Fox

The arctic fox has white fur to blend into the snow with. It has short ears, furry soles, and a shourt muzzle so that it stays warm in the arctic temps. They live in burrows and when it snows they may make a tunnel into the snow for cover. they hunt rodents,birds, and even fish. The females give birth each spring to a litter of about 14 pups.

Hudson river

Hudson river facts

The river is 850miles long and 650miles wide it connects to the Atlantic ocean so if I need any other way to go I can take the Atlantic ocean but that may be risky because of how big it is.

Advantages and disadvantages of my transportation

The positive things about travaling in a canoe is that its light weight easy to use and I can traval in shallow waters and it is a quiet way to get around. The disadvantage is that it is unstable and I have to paddle by myself so I may be tired very quickly.

Transportation

Transpotation

I will be taking a canoe to my new biome. I will fallow the rivers as far as I can go and if I come to a break in the river I will have to walk the rest of the way but the rout I have chosen I will be able to use the rive most of the way.

About me

My name is zool bolo and I live in a home by myself no family in Canada, I plan to move to the tundra in a couple more years I'm saving up my money by trapping. The reason I want to move up north is because I here'd trapping is better and there is gold. One of theses days I will go north and on my way up I could write the first plant biology book and publish it in fairbanks and maybe I can get a beautiful young lady and start a family.
