Terrific Places to Explore Canada's Wildlife

Canada is fortunate to be home to thousands of wildlife species and the vast areas of land and water on which they depend.There are several recognisable Canadian animals that are scattered across the different landscapes and many interesting species to be seen including the Vancouver Island marmot, the Atlantic puffin, the barren-ground caribou and the whooping crane. Most of the diversity in species can be found in the forested areas, particularly the boreal forests, but there are also creatures to be seen across the mountains, grasslands and tundra. Threats to these habitats, however, are putting numerous species under pressure and the protection of Canada’s unique biodiversity is an important task for future generations.

Algonquin Provincial Park

Algonquin Park is one of Canada’s most picturesque parks. Specifically in the fall season, you will see bunches of red, orange and golden yellow trees surrounded by mirror-like lakes. You may even encounter a wild moose. It is “a sight for sore eyes.” A short drive away from Toronto, yet you’ll feel like you’re in another world. Have you ever snowshoed? Hiked? Camped? You can do it all in Algonquin Park.

Bruce Peninsula National Park

The tropical countries are not the only ones with crystal clear, turquoise water you can scuba dive in. Canada is too! Disregard the chilly water and explore the shipwrecks found in the Georgian Bay. A great destination for a weekend road trip, Bruce Peninsula National Park showcases the rugged cliffs, the stunning Flowerpot Island, Lion’s Head
