This means that the temperatures are usually very low and animals need to be large and have thick fur to survive the cold.
Moose are a great example of this:
Alces alces

Taigas are frigid snowy forests with low amounts of moisture located in northern Asia and North America. Unlike Tundras, Taigas have trees and lack a layer of permafrost.
