alpine organisms

Alpine organisms are plants and animals adapted to live in high-altitude mountain environments where conditions are harsh—cold temperatures, strong winds, and low oxygen levels. These organisms have specialized features like thick fur or fat for insulation, compact shapes to conserve heat, and behaviors that help them survive seasonal changes. They form unique ecosystems with plants that grow close to the ground to avoid wind and animals with high endurance or keen senses. These adaptations enable them to thrive in a challenging, alpine landscape where few other species can survive.
