Answer 2

Hello there, I am from Ontario Canada, and there are lots of different types of wildlife and animals that live here. Perhaps, one of the best known is the Moose, but there are hundreds more. Rabbits, Raccoons, Skunks, Porcupines, Brown Bears, Black Bears, Deer, Squirrels, the list would be quite long. If you include birds, and fish then we are talking a thick book. I think one of my favorite is the small chickmunk (like a squirrel but just bigger than a hampster.) They can become friendly and my dad has some that will come and eat out of your hand. Each part of Canada has different types of animals. The Far Northern Parts have Polar Bears and Snow Owls, White Hares (Snow Shoe Rabbit / Hare) and Artic Wolves and Artic Foxes to name a few. Sothern parts have more variety including Red Fox, Beavers and Ground hogs (not pigs - other name = woodchuck) etc. What type of animals you see will greatly depend on where you go, and what time you visit. Some of our animals sleep in the winter and are not very active until spring or summer. All animals have a favorite home or ecosystem that they live in... A forest vs a Swamp, for example. Some like mountains like in British Columbia and others like the flat open praries, while still others prefer to be near water. Do a Google Search for Animals of Canada, you may be surprised. Need More information, update your question attention to Capt. Elcie Smith.
Hope this helps.

Answer 3

I'm from Manitoba (In canada for you americans) and some people have already covered it pretty well. It is a very common occurence here to hit deer with your car, even in the city ( well the edges of the city) and there are skunks, tonnes of birds (in fact Canada's boreal forest contains 30% of North America's songbirds) and there are polar bears. In Thompson, a town in the northern part of manitoba, they have polar bear safaris, where you sit in this big bus with monster truck wheels and you go out and see polar bears. It's really cool, Not helpful, but interesting.

Answer 5

Some large herbivores, no real large carnivores. Not too many reptiles. Tons of fish... some amphibians, tons of birds
A partial list:
Moose, caribou, musk-ox, deer, cougar, bobcat, racoon, skunk, bear, porcupine, squirrel, otter, beaver, mink, wolf, fox, coyote, newts and salamanders, frogs, snakes, turtles, robins, ducks, chicakdees... and so on

Pretty well anything you'd find in the northern USA.

Answer 6

Moose. Foolbirds. I read about them in Hatchet ( the foolbirds) but it says that foolbird is not the real name! So I think the only one that really counts is the moose.

Answer 7

deer, moose, bobcat, cougar, beaver, eagle, duck, Canada goose, loon, chipmunk, squirrel, fox, coyote, raccoon, bear....I could go on and on.
