Here's why:
* Evergreen Trees: Taiga is dominated by coniferous trees like spruce, fir, and pine, which have needles and remain green year-round.
* Mammals: The Taiga is home to a variety of mammals, including large herbivores like moose and elk, as well as predators like wolves, lynx, and bears.
Other biomes, like the Temperate Forest, also have both evergreen trees and mammals, but the Taiga is specifically defined by its cold, snowy climate and its adaptation to those conditions.
