Climate And Land

The Climate in the Alpine can change from warm to cold in just one day. Winter seasons last from October to May thats eight months of frigid cold weather now the Summer is not so long its only four months but is not all that hot it's just warm. The Rocky Mountains is part of the Alpine's and as you can tell by its name it is a very rocky place and the farming land is not very good here. Alpine biomesare located in the mountain regions all around the world.



Plants

There are some diferent types of plants from flowers to trees and then some types of moss. The picture to the right is a picture of the Alpine forest. The picture below of the flower of M.T Saint Helens which you can get a fine if you cut one of them down. The picture on the bottom right is an example of the type of moss that grows her in the Alpines.

Animals

The picture to the right is a Mountain Goat. There are people who used to think that this animal had webbed, sticky feet so that they can climb the rocks easier. Pyremean Bears are another type of animal that live there. There are only 15 left and they grow up to be about 7feet tall. A Chinchilla is found in the alpine too. It is an endangered species so it is not very often that you see one. The Snow Leopard is also an endangered species and it has the thickest coat of all cat's. The Snowshoe Hare changes color, it is white in the winter and then changes to brown in the summer.

The Yak also lives there. They have black-brown, woolly, and shaggy coats. Their horns grow to be about 30 inches long.
