Anatomy of the Tundra

Nature is never easy to understand, and the tundra proves it. Three types of tundra exist: antarctic, alpine, and arctic. The main difference between these types of tundra is their location on the earth. But they share many characteristics like cold, dry weather, which is why they’re all called Tundra.

When we think about using the natural power of the earth, like sun or wind, we don't usually think about how this might hurt animals. But researchers are finding that we can use sustainable energy while still taking care of our flying friends.
