Alpine wildlife refers to the diverse range of animals and plants that inhabit mountainous regions, typically above the tree line. These areas are characterized by harsh weather conditions, including cold temperatures and strong winds. Common alpine animals include mountain goats, snow leopards, and various species of birds adapted to high altitudes. The flora in alpine environments is also unique, featuring hardy plants like alpine flowers and mosses that can withstand extreme conditions. These ecosystems are crucial for biodiversity, providing habitats for specialized species and contributing to the overall health of the planet's environment.
