Here are 3 amazing animals in Canada
Now i wasn’t sure why, but after i had divulged that these animals lived in Canada i got some odd looks, now i am not sure if it was the piece of knowledge, or if they didn’t believe me. I must say I got the distinct impression not many people knew all that much about Canada, I was a little shocked.
One day a while ago i was speaking to a friend of mine about Polar Bears, he didn’t believe me that they lived in Canada. I then had to take him to a computer and show him the Polar bear Capital of the world. Churchill provides polar bears with a great surrounding and plenty of food for people to eat. There are about 15,000 polar bears in North Canada, probably more than many people think. And at least 1200 of these Polar bears walk through the town of Churchill in autumn.
The Weasel is one of the most fascinating animals of this lot, they also have an amazing collective name – a Boogle! There are only a few places on the planet where the weasel cannot be found, Australia and Antarctica are the exceptions. The Weasel is considered by many to be a cunning creature and is found all over Canada, they eat small rodents. Those that consider them vermin couldn’t be more wrong, especially when they help to dispose of rats and rabbits, much like ferrets.
Now this one I thought would be obvious, but somehow seems to have eluded a whole bunch of people, maybe all my mates just don’t know anything? The Walrus, one of the biggest creatures in Canada, if not the largest (I am pretty sure it is larger than a grizzly). The most defining feature about the Walrus is its tusks, which are not used for feeding; they are just there for show, and for some defence. When the Walrus was around about 15 years ago it was hunted for its meat, blubber and ivory, and was drawn to endangerment, now they are protected and there are over two hundred thousand of them.
So does any of this make you want to go on Canada holidays, I am off on Vancouver holidays all next year, and will be taking as many pictures of animals and wildlife as possible, Canada tours are my forte!
