About Canada's Wildlife

Canada is home to some of the world's most diverse and fascinating wildlife.

These magnificent creatures play crucial roles in maintaining our ecosystems. Beavers create wetlands that support biodiversity, wolves help control ungulate populations, and pollinators ensure the reproduction of countless plant species. Understanding their behaviors and habitats is key to ensuring their survival for generations to come.

Canada is home to three bear species: the black bear, grizzly bear, and polar bear. These magnificent creatures can be found across various habitats, from coastal rainforests to the Arctic tundra. Bears play an important role in ecosystem health and have deep cultural significance to many Indigenous peoples of Canada.

Moose

The moose is the largest member of the deer family, standing up to 6.5 feet at the shoulder. These impressive animals are excellent swimmers and can be found in forests near lakes, ponds, and rivers throughout much of Canada. Males grow massive antlers that can span up to 6 feet, which they use during mating season competitions.

Beavers

As Canada's national animal, beavers are renowned for their engineering abilities. These industrious rodents build elaborate dams and lodges, creating wetland habitats that benefit countless other species. Their activities help prevent flooding, filter water, and create ecosystems that support biodiversity. Once hunted nearly to extinction for their fur, beavers have made a remarkable comeback.
