The tundra is a difficult place to call home. As far away from the equator as you can get, only a few bits of dry shrubbery populate the frozen, barren landscape. And it’s cold — really cold, with little precipitation and not much variation between the seasons. Finding enough food to thrive when temperatures dip to 40 degrees Fahrenheit below zero isn’t easy. To survive, you’d have to be one of the fiercest animals on Earth.
Being a predator in a part of the world with so little to eat means you have to be efficient, fast, smart and, frankly, vicious. These predators don’t shy away from the hunt, and if you happen to be hanging out at the poles, you’d do well to walk (or run) in the opposite direction.
