Ive

lost my

friendWillie!

Hes a white tailed

deer, and I need you

to help me find where

he lives! Were going to have to look in the

different biomes. Those are large places that are

very different from one another. Lets start with

the TUNDRA!

WAY!THISTUNDRA


3/13

Welcome to

The TUNDRA!Brrrrr! Its very cold here! The average temperature is between-26 degrees Celsius and -12 degrees Celsius. Permafrost is

found here- thats a layer of soil thats frozen beneath the soil.

Corey the Caribou says its too cold here for Willie the White

Tailed Deer.

5/13

The next biome well visit is the Taiga Its

still too cold for my friend Willie here!

The average temperature is

between -10 degrees Celsius and

-14 degrees Celsius. There are moretreeshere than in the Tundra, such as

pine trees, spurs, and spruces.

Henry the Hawk has a home

here. He told us to look for

Willie in the Temperate

Grasslands.


6/13

This biomeis found mostly on the inside

of continents. Theres really not enough

rain for big trees, but there is a lot of

grass, and rich, fertile soil. This makes the

grasslands perfect for grazing animals,

such as antelopes and bison. Barry theBison told me that this isnt the right

place to find Willie the White Tailed Deer.

He said to look in the Desert.


7/13

Whew! Its hothere! Much too

hot for Willie! The

desert is a very

dry and barren

biome.While its

very hot duringthe day, the temperatures can decrease by

30 degrees Celsius at night. Plants here

are very sparse, as well animals. They

need to conserve waterto survive. Why?

The desert only gets about 25 cm of rain ayear! Camels save water in their humps to

survive. Carl

the Baby Camel

told me that

Willie cant

survive here,

but he may be

in the Savanna!


8/13

The savanna is very like

the grasslands. It is sort of

a middle ground betweenthe desert and the

rainforest. It has distinct

wet and dry seasons. This

is where you find a lot of animals, such as the

lion, giraffe, and zebra. Evan the Emu says that

Willie the White Tailed Deer doesnt live here,either. He says that we should look in the

Rainforest.

Tropical Rain Forest


9/13

The tropical rainforestgets the most

rainout of any of the biomes. A thick

covering of trees called the canopylets

hardly any light reach the ground. Willie

the White Tailed Deer doesnt belong

here! Animals like monkeys, snakes, andmany insects live here. Also, colorfulbirds

like Tessa the Toucan live in the

rainforest. Tessa tells us to

look in the chaparral

for Willie.


10/13

The chaparral is a biome with hot

summersand wet winters. The dry

summers make the chaparral prone to

fires, and consist of mostly shrubs.

Animals like the jackrabbit and foxes

live here. This is not the right place for

Willie to live, though! That means theres

one place left to look The temperate

deciduous forest!


11/13

Willie is in his home, the temperate

deciduous forestbiome. The temperate

forest has lots of trees, and four very clear

seasons. In the autumn these trees lose their

leaves. Some animals in this biome

hibernate during

the winter. White

tailed deer, as well

as chipmunks,

squirrels, and

eagles, are someanimals that live

here.

Now that youve

visited all 8 biomes,

heres a little game to

help you remember

them!
