Description:
55 pages : illustrations, map ; 23 cm.
Summary:
Canada
is home to over 308
endemic
species of plants and animals--meaning they're found nowhere else on Earth. In
Canada
Wild, award-winning author Maria Birmingham introduces young readers to twelve uniquely Canadian animals--many of which are threatened or endangered. Like the Sable Island sweat bee, which lives on a single sandbar three hundred kilometres off the coast of Nova Scotia; the Kermode bear, the rare white black bear also known as the "Spirit Bear," which calls the coastal rainforests of northwestern BC home; and the Peary caribou, which can be found clomping through the Arctic tundra of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Profiles of each animal showcase their habitat, diet, and status, while sidebars highlight fascinating facts about each animal, and a How's It Doing section explains where it falls on the endangerment spectrum. Informative backmatter gives young readers practical advice on conservation and combating climate change, while colour illustrations throughout--including a map of
Canada
, showing the
animals
' habitats--offer whimsical yet scientifically accurate depictions. From the coasts to the prairies to the mountains to the tundra, and every nook and cranny in between,
Canada
Wild is the perfect read for budding naturalists.
