"Canada is home to over 300 endemic species of plants and animals--meaning they're found nowhere else on Earth. Canada Wild introduces young readers to 12 uniquely Canadian animals--many of which are threatened or endangered. Like the Sable Island sweat bee, which lives on a single sandbar 300 kilometers 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 British Columbia 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 its habitat, diet, and status, as well as fascinating facts, and a How's it Doing? section explains where it falls in the endagerment spectrum. Readers will also find advice on conservation and combatting climate change, and an illustrated map to help locate each animal. 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 natualists."-- PAge 4 of cover.
