 Wolves in the Canadian Wild
The sight of a rarely seen Gray Wolf in its natural,
wild setting is an awe-inspiring event. Usually
colored a grizzled gray, their coloration can range
from white to black. Gray Wolves generally live in
packs of 4 – 7 animals, consisting of family
members, however some wolves live a more solitary
life. Wolves communicate by barks, yelps, and howls.
While early evening stillness is often broken by the
howling of a lone wolf, the chorus is very quickly
picked up other wolves within earshot and will often
die down after a few minutes.

 Mountain Goats in the
Canadian Rockies
High in the alpine forest, Mountain Goats
majestically sport glimmering white fur coats. The
hollow hairs of the Mountain Goat act like
insulation and keep them warm during the cold
winter. As the suns rays reflect on these hollow
hairs, they appear to glimmer and shine. Incredibly
nimble-footed, Mountain Goats hooves have a hard
outer rim and a soft center, providing excellent
traction on even the narrowest of ledges and rocky
outcroppings.

 The Bald Eagle in the
Canadian Wilderness
The Bald Eagle, majestically soaring overhead,
riding invisible air currents, is an incredible
sight to behold. As if floating in mid-air several
hundred feet above the water, a Bald Eagle’s
powerful eyesight searches for surface feeding fish.
In a sudden exhibition of the fantastic aerial
acrobatic skill possessed by the Bald Eagle, it
executes a side-slip maneuver and dives. Without
slowing or hesitating, the Bald Eagle swoops down,
extends its sharp talons, reaching just below the
surface of the water and grabs the fish.

 About:
Red Squirrel
Like a flash, the happy-go-lucky Red Squirrel zips
along the forest floor and bounds up an evergreen
tree in apparent defiance of the laws of gravity.
Appearing to be bundles of unlimited energy, Red
Squirrels spend the summer collecting green spruce
cones and stashing them away for winter. A Red
Squirrels hangout can be seen by the unusually huge
pile of cones and scales piled up under branches of
evergreen trees. If you intrude upon a Red
Squirrels’ territory, you are sure to get an earful
of their persistent chattering.

 About:
Steller Sea Lions
Proudly showing off, this Steller Sea Lion enjoys
basking in the sun on a warm afternoon. Even with a
large Steller Sea Lion weighing over 2,000 lbs (900
kg), their powerful front and rear flippers are used
to haul themselves out of the water and clamber up
rocky shores to bask in the sun. Although noted for
their curiosity and playfulness, Steller Sea Lions
are truly at home in the water. This incredible
agility is seen as they turn, roll, spin, tumble and
even leap clear out of the water while swimming and
playing together.

 About:
Humpback Whales
Humpback Whales are one of the most sought after
tourist sights along the Canadian and Alaska coast.
Spending the winter in either Hawaii or Mexico,
Humpback Whales migrate thousands of miles to spend
the summer feeding in nutrient rich waters such as
Glacier Bay. While they measure up to 62 ft (19 m)
in length and can weigh over 53 tons (48,000 kg),
Humpback Whales are generally very gentle and docile
mammals. There are many feeding techniques used by
Humpbacks; these Humpbacks are bubble-feeding on a
school of herring or sand lance.

 About:
Orca / Killer Whale
Orcas, or Killer Whales, are highly intelligent and
very curious mammals. Orcas are the most widely
distributed of any marine mammal on Earth, being
found in all oceans from cold polar seas to tropical
waters. Orcas live in a very organized family unit
called a pod that includes several generations.
Unusually curious about the visitors in their
waters, they may approach boats in order to get a
better look at the human visitors. Their acrobatic
skills are seen as they spy-hop, tail-slap or breach
the water as this juvenile Orca is doing.
