Arctic Wolf Parc Omega By Mark The arctic wolf inhabits the Canadian Arctic and the islands, parts of Alaska and northern parts of Greenland. Their habitat extends from 70 North latitude and higher. They have lived in North America for more than two million years. When they find a den, they make a couple of chambers for food and young. The arctic wolf is the only subspecies of the Gray Wolf that still can be found over the whole of its original range, largely because, in the...ir natural habitat, they rarely encounter humans. The arctic wolf is also the only subspecies of wolf which is not threatened their remote home means that they are relatively safe from man's activities, both in terms of hunting and habitat destruction. Their habitat is extremely harsh and remote, and few scientists venture into that world during the long, dark winter even the vast majority of Inuit live further south than the arctic wolf. As a result, the details of their lives through much of the year are virtually unknown. #wolves #arcticwolf #parcomega

American Red Squirrel By Lynn The American red squirrel is one of the smaller tree squirrels, head and body measuring 16-23 cm, and the tail 9-16 cm. Body-weight ranges from about 140-310 grams. American red squirrels are well adapted for climbing and running through the trees with their compact, muscled bodies, strong claws, and powerful hind limbs, but they also spend much time on the ground. An individual usually has several nests, which may either be loosely constructed tree nests, holes in a tree trunk or weather-tight winter nests constructed in the densest foliage of a tree. #wildlife #wildlifephotography #northeasternontario

McIntyre Headframe by Mark. The McIntyre Gold Mine is the 3rd largest producer of gold in Canada with a production of 10.8 million oz. Prospectors Alexander Olifant (alias Sandy McIntyre) and Hans Buttner staked... their claims on the shores of Pearl Lake in 1909. The mine operated between 1912 and 1988. It consisted of an underground mining operation with several access shafts and vent raises as well as a mill, shops, and office buildings. At one point, copper was found in the area, and by 1963, copper ore recovered exceeded gold production. The only remaining building, following the demolition of the mine site in 2001, was the Shaft No. 11 head frame and a shed containing electrical switchgear for the head frame.

Red Fox Timmins, ON by Mark Red foxes live around the world in many diverse habitats including forests, grasslands, mountains, and deserts. They also adapt well to human environments such as farms, suburban areas, and even large communities. The red fox's resourcefulness has earned it a legendary reputation for intelligence and cunning.... Red foxes are solitary hunters who feed on rodents, rabbits, birds, and other small gamebut their diet can be as flexible as their home habitat. Foxes will eat fruit and vegetables, fish, frogs, and even worms. If living among humans, foxes will opportunistically dine on garbage and pet food. Like a cat's, the fox's thick tail aids its balance, but it has other uses as well. A fox uses its tail (or "brush") as a warm cover in cold weather and as a signal flag to communicate with other foxes. Foxes also signal each other by making scent postsurinating on trees or rocks to announce their presence. In winter, foxes meet to mate. The vixen (female) typically gives birth to a litter of 2 to 12 pups. At birth, red foxes are actually brown or gray. A new red coat usually grows in by the end of the first month, but some red foxes are golden, reddish-brown, silver, or even black. Both parents care for their young through the summer before they are able to strike out on their own in the fall. Red foxes are hunted for sport, though not extensively, and are sometimes killed as destructive pests or frequent carriers of rabies. Thank you for all your Likes, Shares & Comments.

Canada Lynx (Lynx Canadensis) By Mark The Canada Lynx resembles a gigantic housecat. It has a very short body, small tail, and long legs. Their fur coat is usually thick, long and grey in the winter and short, thin and light brown in the summer. Year-round they have black tips on the end of their tails and on their triangle-shaped ears. The Canada Lynx has a very wide face that has longer patches of fur on the side of its face it looks like a beard! The long, round feet of ...the Canada Lynx act like snowshoes by distributing their weight to help keep on top of the snow. They also have sharp claws that retract helping them to climb, fight predators and capture prey. Their feet are covered in a thick layer of fur to keep them warm in the winter. Canada Lynxes can be found in forested areas and make their dens underneath fallen trees, tree stumps, rock ledges or thick bushes. Lynxes are very territorial animals males live alone and are usually only found around other lynxes during breeding season, in winter. Females stay with the baby kittens. All their hunting is done at night, which they are well adapted with big eyes and superior hearing. Because lynxes are not fast runners, they have to be sneaky to catch their dinner. They usually bound after their prey and pounce on them from a hiding spot some even sit still for hours to just to catch a bite! Predators of the lynx include cougars, wolves and coyotes, but humans are the biggest threat of all. Trappers favour lynx for their beautiful, thick fur coat.
