Canada is a land of startling contrasts-sandy beaches, rocky coastlines, majestic mountains, rolling prairies, temperate coastal waterways and frozen desolate tundra. Canadian animal life reflects this diversity. The three coastal boundaries-Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic, support abundant marine life such as whales, dolphins and walruses. The interior waterways are alive with waterbirds like Canadian geese, ducks and loons. In the far north you can observe polar bears playing in the snow while on the prairies you can see pronghorn antelope leaping through the sagebrush while bison graze nearby.
