Yes, but Frontier classes alpine/subalpine under taiga given it doesn’t have a separate montane/alpine biome classification. Therefore these animals would qualify for being taiga species.yeah but these are all blurring the line between taiga and alpine under most definitions of taiga it is specifically referring to the northern hemisphere deciduous forests which remain cold all year and a predominately made of conifers due to the cold oceania doesnt really have anything similar that isnt just alpine instead. Also I didnt think the platypus or emu were considered alpine.
Yeah as I said the emu is more marginal (range up into subalpine forests) but platypus live more than 1600 metres above sea level in the Australian Alps and Tasmanian Highlands.
