Animals: Animals living in tundra's adapt to cold weather and little sunlight. These include arctic foxes, wolves, polar bears, squirrels, and migratory birds that include ravens and snowbirds.
Plants: Since it is always cold the soil lacks nutrients. The topsoil is so thin in areas of the tundra, that it can only support shallow-rooted grasses and other small plants. Plants in the tundra that are resistant to drought and cold include grasses, dwarf shrubs, and cushion plants.
