located in eastern North America, on the Canada – United States border. Consisting of Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario, they form the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth.

border between the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of New York. The falls

The grizzly bear also known as the silvertip bear or just the grizzly or

North American brown bear, is a subspecies of brown bear that

generally lives in the uplands of western North America.

This subspecies is thought to descend from Ussuri brown bears

which crossed to Alaska from eastern Russia 100,000 years ago,

though they did not move south until 13,000 years ago

Canadian Canadian MooseMoose

Moose are distinguished by the palmate antlers of the males; other members of the family have antlers with a dendritic ("twig-

like") configuration. Moose typically inhabit boreal and mixe deciduous forests

of the Northern Hemisphere in temperate to subarctic climates.

The moose (North America) or Eurasian elk is the largest extant species in the deer

family.

gaited breeds of today.

The Canadian Horse is an official Canadian symbol and commonly

appears in images with the Mounties.
