Canada is known for its wide-open landscapes, but it’s the animals that bring those places to life. From the quiet grace of the beaver to the sheer presence of the polar bear, these creatures have become part of the country’s identity. They’re not just wildlife; they appear on coins, in folklore, and in everyday pride. But not all of them are thriving. Some are facing real threats from climate change, habitat loss, and human activity. Exploring these iconic animals is also a way of understanding how fragile their future is, and how much responsibility we carry in protecting them.
