Organisms that live in the alpine and taiga biomes have developed unique adaptations that aid in their survival. The snowshoe rabbit is one of the animals found in the taiga biome. It is unique in that it is able to hide from predators in the snow in the winter, as well as in the forested areas in the summer without being seen.
