Moose The animal I am studying for our Canada project is the moose. A moose lives in the northern regions, in places that have forests and plenty of water. Moose have brown

and black fur on the top half and black and grey fur on the legs and stomach. It can grow to about 6 ½ feet tall. It has big shoulders and long legs. A moose eats wood, like twigs of willow and shrubs like hazel and dogwood. These are some of the facts about the moose an animal found in Canada. Sammy

Otter

The name of our animal is

called the Otter. It lives in

rivers and oceans. Our animal

eats shellfish. The Otter grows

up to 4feet 6 inches and has

soft under fur that is covered

by brown bristles. It’s a

relative of the Weasel. It

spends most of its time in the

water. It is protected because

people want to kill it for warm

fur.

The Otter is one of the

best swimmers and

that is one of the

reasons why it can

hold its breath under

water for a long period

of time. It was almost

endangered of being

extinct and is almost

gone. This is what we

learned about the Otter

in Canada for our

Canada project.

Raccoon The name of the animal we researched is a raccoon. It is a mammal that is found chiefly

in North America and Canada. Our animal eats birds, frogs, fish, fruits, corn, eggs,

melons, and other foods that are found in or near campers & trailers, which makes them

rather common visitors usually at night. Our animal has a stout body with five to seven

stripes. An adult raccoon can be 2.5 feet to 3.0 feet. They can weigh 20 pounds. Although

a male raccoon can reach 50 pounds. These are the facts about our animal.

Seals

Our animal is a seal. Seals are excellent swimmers and have sleek bodies shaped like

torpedoes. Most seals have hair on their bodies but some adult Walrus have almost no

hair. All seals have a lair on their bodies called blubber witch is one to six inches thick.

Most seals live in the oceans or in fresh water. Harbor seals, Ringed seals and some

other kinds of seal spend most of their time on land or on chunks of ice. Northern Fur

seals spend eight months out in sea. On their migration Fur seals travel 10 to 100 miles

from the Bering Sea almost to Northern Mexico. They travel farther than any other seal.

When a seal is ready to mate they go to places called rookeries, to have their babies and

mate.

These are the facts I learned about seals.

studying found in

Canada is the Narwhal.

It lives in the Arctic

Ocean. It feeds on fish

and crabs. This is what

our animal look like: It

has a horn. The male has

an 8 ft horn while the

female has an 18 ft one.

Polar Bear Our animal that we researched for our unit on Canada is the Polar Bear. It lives in the North Pole but in the summer when the ice melts it moves down toward the Northern coasts of Canada and Greenland, they are also found near the Northern coast of Alaska. Polar Bears

mainly eat small pieces of ringed seal. They have a long body, neck and head they also have short furry ears and sharp teeth. Polar Bears can live up

to 33 years old. Although Polar Bears hunt other animals they rarely kill people. But people threaten the survival of Polar Bears. Esme and Sean
