Boreal Animals

Boreal animals are well adapted to the extreme environment of the taiga, and are abundant in many areas. Millions of birds migrate north to breed and nest during the spring and summer. Mammals present in interior Alaska include the red squirrels, nocturnal flying squirrels, voles porcupines, beaver, snowshoe hares, moose, black bears, grizzly bears, and caribou. Many insects are also found, including the famous Alaskan mosquitoes.
