Who's Who
You've probably noticed that different animals
appear on some of Canada's coins. In the wild, you'd most likely find
these animals in the Canadian Shield. At this Web site, you can learn
about the many birds, mammals, insects, amphibians, and reptiles of the
region.
Canada's
Forests
What are the three main vegetation zones of the
Canadian Shield? If you answered tundra, boreal forest, and mixed forest,
you're right. The boreal forest is the largest of these three zones. At
this Web site, you can compare the boreal forest with other forests in
Canada. You'll also find good descriptions and photographs of forests.
The
Virtual Forest
You will find a lot of information about the plants and animals of the Canadian
Shield at this Web site. There's even a glossary with pictures to help you
out! You can also learn about plants and animals in other boreal forests
around the world. Check out some of the activities and projects at the site,
too.
