It's elk rutting season! 🦌
Across Canada, elk are bugling as they search for a mate. During this time, it's essential to give these majestic animals plenty of space—high hormone levels can make them more reactive to humans.
Enjoy the sights and sounds of this season from a safe distance and respect their natural behavior.

Mountain goat, or big horn sheep? Have you seen them in the wild?
People will often confuse the two, but there are a few key differences;
- Bighorn sheep have curly horns, while mountain goats have short straight horns
- Mountain goats prefer higher elevations, while bighorn sheep will happily head onto roads to find salt to lick.

In French, the "Raton Laveur": literally, small washing rat 🐀💦
The French name for the Raccoon comes from its tendency to dip its food in water before eating it. This helps the raccoon determine what exactly it has grabbed and whether it's suitable for it to eat. This ingenious little mammal is famous for its adaptability and resourcefulness.
Raccoons are fairly common and can be found in most cities and forests across Canada.

Did you know a Bald Eagle's nest can be up to 6 feet wide, and 3 feet tall?
These huge birds need a huge nest to raise their young. Bald eagles can be found soaring across North America, looking for fish near oceans and other waterways. Along with their mate-for-life they build their huge nests high up in the trees.
