This interesting video of wild Canadian animals shows Bison, Moose, Black Bear, Bald Eagle, Mountain Goat, Porcupine, Steller's Jay, Pika, Caribou, Bighorn Sheep, Arctic Ground Squirrel and many more.

Some of the footage was shot in Alaska, however all of the interesting animals shown are native to both Canada and Alaska. Alaska is right on the border of Canada in the north.

Two Lynx in Ontario Have Intense Conversation



This Youtube video shows 2 funny lynx in Ontario having intense conversations. I would be scared if I went camping and heard that in woods. It really kind of sounds like some type of demon shrieking. I think I heard these sounds being played on the radio, as well. This video is pretty famous. It is interesting what Canadian animals have to offer. They sound frustrated.

Funny Animal Video Canada Goose Preening



This video from Youtube is interesting. Has anybody ever seen a Canadian goose preening itself down by the pond. Birds clean their feathers and keep them in top shape. They remove dust, dirt and parasites from their feathers. They also like to align each feather to its optimum position. Displaced feathers can cause birds considerable trouble. It is harder to fly that way. Such displaced feathers might become damaged. Incorrect feathers might allow the bird's body heat to escape. They also want to do the waterproofing of feathers. Birds can also shed old feathers while preening.

Canadian animals - many different species



Canada is home to about 80,000 species including the iconic caribou, polar bear and narwhal. Keep in mind, many of them are facing numerous threats to their survival.

Interestingly, Canada supports the 2nd largest gray wolf population in the world, after Russia. Wolf habitat is diverse in this large country. Historically, wolves ranged in most areas of Canada. Currently, wolves in Canada occupy approximately 90 percent of their historic range.

Gray wolf attacks are rare because wolves are scared to be killed by human beings. Wolves today tend to live mostly far from people or have developed the tendency and ability to avoid them.

There have been some recent extinctions in Canada. There was exploitation of land and forest resources by humans and hunting and trapping for food and sport. Woodland caribou, present in several provinces, are threatened by human hunting, wolves, as well as habitat disturbance from forestry activities, roads, mining and exploration, pipelines and oil and gas production. The Newfoundland population of marten is threatened by habitat loss, accidental trapping and prey availability.

Top 10 Iconic Canadian Animals



The Calgary Zoo is celebrating Canada’s 150th by highlighting some of the country’s most iconic native species.

The 150th anniversary of Canada is interesting. 2017 marks a significant moment in the history of Canada. 150 before that year, Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia united to create the Canadian Confederation, called the Dominion of Canada.

Canada is known for its mammals such as American bison, Arctic hare, badger, beaver, black bear, bobcat, little brown bat, Canada lynx, reindeer (caribou), coyote, grizzly bears, wolf, red fox, lemming, meadow mice, moose, mountain lion, mule deer, musk ox, muskrat, polar bear, porcupine, prairie dog, pronghorn, raccoon, pinniped (seal), skunk, snowshoe hare, walrus, wapiti, weasel, whale, white tailed deer, wolverine.

Amazingly, Canada lies within the 15 terrestrial and 5 marine ecozones. The largest marine ecozone is the Arctic Archipelago. The largest terrestrial ecozone is the Boreal Shield. The main biomes of Canada are tundra, boreal forest, mixed forest, broadleaf forest, prairies, Rocky Mountains, and temperate coniferous forests which hosts significant biodiversity.

In recent decades, human encroachment has certainly posed a threat to Canada's wildlife. To help the situation, National Wildlife Areas (NWAs) are set aside under the Canada Wildlife Act. In existence are National Parks, National Wildlife Areas and Migratory Bird Sanctuaries. National parks protect important natural regions in Canada. NWAs help conserve habitats for species at risk. Migratory bird sanctuaries protect the breeding grounds of migratory birds during the vital nesting season.

Moose fighting in the driveway



Looks like this happened in Alaska. That isn't Canada, but it is very close on the border of Canada. There are sure a lot of moose in Canada. Watch out for moose when driving on the road.

Moose fighting in the driveway - this looks pretty good. Thanks for amazing animal footage. This is entertaining to watch.

Moose typically aren't aggressive towards people. If provoked, they can be deadly. Unlike deer, moose aren't usually afraid of humans, so they won't run away just because you're there.

Adult moose can run as fast as 35 miles per hour. They are excellent swimmers. They can cross large expanses swimming up to 6 miles per hour for two hours at one time. Moose usually weigh 25 to 35 pounds at birth. Calves can run within a few days and swim well within two weeks.

If you see a moose: talk calmly and back away. Give the animal about 50 feet of personal space. Dogs might provoke moose. Don't throw things or offer food.

This following is the biggest moose ever recorded. The largest Alaska moose was shot in western Yukon in September 1897. It weighed 820 kg (1,808 lb). It was 2.33 m (7.6 ft) tall at the shoulder.

Most of the time, the reason that male moose fight is over females or territory (which they would hope is full of females). The point is not a fight to the death. The point is to push harder and show that he's stronger. Whoever can move the other one out of the way wins.

In geography, the antipode of any spot on Earth is the point on Earth's surface diametrically opposite to it. A pair of points antipodal to each other are situated such that a straight line connecting the two would pass through Earth's center. Antipodal points are as far away from each other as possible.

Bedouin Soundclash - MASS



Jay Malinowski and Eon Sinclair are back with the 1st Bedouin Soundclash album since 2010’s Light The Horizon. This is an impressive album that excites. It's interesting to hear blasting horns and Mike Dillon’s balafon-like marimba playing. The vocals are kind and pleasing. Dub effects are cool.

Bedouin usually means a nomad of the desert. You can talk about an encampment of Bedouin on the edge of the desert. These people have no permanent living place. They could travel from place to place. They could find new fresh pasture for their livestock.

Tim Baker - Forever Overhead



This band fills many venues with loud fans. Tim Baker does well to use his early music influences. Some of the tracks are melancholy. The drums and guitars sound well together here. Louder thundering drums are interesting. The vocals are high quality.
