Exploring the Major Biomes of the World

The video tutorial introduces biomes, large regions with specific climates and organisms. It covers four major biomes: tundra, forest, grassland, and desert. The tundra is the coldest, with polar bears and sparse vegetation. Forests are diverse, including rainforests, temperate forests, and the cold tega. Grasslands, like savannas and pampas, support species like zebras and giraffes. Deserts are the driest, with adaptations like cacti and camels. The importance of preserving biomes is emphasized.
