taiga
deciduous forest

Explanation:

For the Tundra habitat, the Arctic fox has thick fur for warmth and small ears to reduce heat loss. The caribou has large hooves to walk on snow and tundra soil. Mosses have short stems to avoid harsh winds and can photosynthesize in cold temperatures. Lichens can tolerate extreme cold and dryness. In the Taiga, the lynx has large paws for walking on snow and sharp claws for hunting. The moose has long legs to move through snow and wetlands. Pine trees have needle - like leaves to reduce water loss in cold, dry air. Spruce trees have conical shape to shed snow easily. In the Deciduous Forest, the white - tailed deer has antlers for defense and mating. The raccoon has dexterous paws for foraging. Oak trees have broad leaves to capture sunlight in summer and shed them in winter to conserve water. Maples have deep roots to access water and nutrients.
