A Journey t o

the E vergreen
Fores t

Imagine hiking through an
evergreen forest. Tall trees
tower above you. Their
needles carpet the ground.
Their scent fills the air.

Snow blankets this habitat in
winter. It covers trees. This
makes it hard for animals to
travel and find food.

The evergreen forest biome
stretches across Alaska and
Canada. It also covers parts
of northern Europe and Asia.

Evergreen forest

ANTARCTICA

Winter lasts for about
seven months in the
evergreen forest.

Days are very short during
winter in the evergreen forest.
The temperature stays below
freezing for many months.

Summers are cool in an
evergreen forest. The
ground is wet and swampy.
The days are long.

Plants grow quickly during
the short summer. Insects
hatch. Birds feast on insects.
The forest comes to life.

Animals in t h e
Forest

Animals in an evergreen forest
must survive snowy winters.
A snowshoe hares fur turns
white. White fur helps it stay
hidden in the snow.

Lynx and other predators
sometimes spot a hare. The
hare leaps away. Its large,
furry feet keep it from sinking
in snow.

An elk grows a thick coat for
winter. Its winter coat is five
times warmer than its summer
coat. It steps through deep
snow with its long legs.

T his elk has grown its
thick, warm winter coat.

Voles tunnel beneath soil
and snow. Five or more voles
nest together in winter. They
huddle together to stay warm.
They eat roots belowground.

A red fox can hear a
vole under the snow
feet (7.6 meters) away.

A red fox listens for voles.
He tilts his ears. He leaps
and dives into the snow.
The fox scoops up his prey.

Insects hatch in swampy forest
pools in summer. Mosquitoes
quickly grow into adults. They
mate and lay their eggs before
winter begins. The eggs hatch
when summer returns.

Many birds nest in the
evergreen forest. They catch
insects to feed their young.
They fly south before winter.

T his warbler can f ly about
5,000 miles (8,050 kilometers)
to reach its nesting ground.

A pine grosbeak usually lives
in the evergreen forest all
year. Its thick bill crushes
seeds. It finds fruit on bushes.

Plants in t h e
Forest

Spruce, fir, pine, and hemlock
trees grow in an evergreen
forest. They have green
needles all year. Needles are
leaves. Needles usually fall off
a tree after a few years.
