THE CANADIAN WILDERNESS
FAUNA

You'll find few insects and no reptiles or amphibians in the northern Arctic area of Canada. Awe-inspiring mammals such aspolar bear, muskox and caribou can be found all year, while the only small mammal hardy enough to endure the temperatures is the collared lemming, which tends totake shelter under the snow. The snowy owl, arctic fox and ermine depend on these lemmings for food. Migrant birds arrive in the spring. Canada geese and snowgeese build nests in wetlands near coasts and river valleys, while ducks nest by ponds on areas of grassy tundra. Shore birds that do not require much vegetationfor their nests survive in this meager Arctic environment, such as the snow bunting and horned lark.
FLORA

A lack of vegetation certainly characterizesthe plant life here. Only particularly tough species can survive the permafrost and dryness of the climate, most notably the arctic poppy, which is well-suited totrack the sun's path through the sky and to absorb its heat to quickly ripen its seeds. The wind is a particular problem for Arctic flora, which tends to growclose to the ground to avoid it, like the yellow oxytrope. The best places to find plants and the wildlife they attract are in coastal lowlands, valleys andareas next to rivers and streams. These areas support the growth of mosses and other low-lying vegetation necessary for area wildlife.
