Canadian Wildlife Regions Quiz – Wild Canada

Canada's huge size and many ecosystems support a wide range of wildlife. The Arctic has polar bears, narwhals and muskoxen, the boreal forest has moose, wolves and lynx and the prairies once held millions of bison.

Coasts add marine life: orcas and humpbacks off British Columbia, belugas in Hudson Bay and the St. Lawrence and puffins on Atlantic islands. The Great Bear Rainforest protects the rare white spirit bear.

Conservation efforts include national parks, wildlife corridors and Indigenous-led stewardship. Climate change is a major concern, especially for Arctic species that depend on sea ice.
