Alpine

Vicuñas live at altitudes of 3,200 to 4,800 m (10,500-15,700 ft)

Bighorn sheep inhabit alpine meadows, grassy mountain slopes, and foothill country near rugged, rocky cliffs and bluffs.

They may be found in a variety of habitats including rainforest, eucalyptus forest, woodland, alpine grassland, and coastal areas.

In India, Myanmar, Indochina, Indonesia and China, it prefers forested areas in alpine zones and is occasionally sighted in plains regions.

Alpine marmots prefer alpine meadows and high-altitude pastures, where colonies live in deep burrow systems situated in alluvial soil or rocky areas.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list of threatened species includes one mayfly: Tasmanophlebia lacuscoerulei, the large blue lake mayfly, which is a native of Australia and is listed as endangered because its alpine habitat is vulnerable to climate change.

They mostly occur in warm areas with suitable moist locations for breeding, but also occupy a wide range of habitats from deserts to alpine meadows.

Suitable habitat includes blue oak (Quercus douglasii) savanna, gray pine-oak forest (Pinus sabiniana-Quercus spp.), mixed conifer forest, and alpine meadows.

a prostrate ground-hugging shrub; leaves short, 3-8 mm; cones often larger, 7-12 mm, usually longer than the leaves; found in subarctic areas and high altitude alpine zones in temperate areas subsp. alpina var. alpina, Greenland, Europe and Asia subsp. alpina var. megistocarpa Fernald & H.St.John, Eastern Canada (doubtfully distinct from var. alpina) subsp. alpina var. jackii

In some areas, it also occurs in alpine habitats, along mountain streams.

It's most common in alpine tundra with a relatively thick carpet of grasses and sedges rather than the more barren steppe country.
