In the summer the arctic fox lives in the tundra at the edge of forest, while in the winter it can be found on ice floes where its white coat serves as camouflage. Its den is usually a burrow in a hillside or a bank and it has more than one entrance. In the winter the fox often makes its den in a snow bank. As global warming takes its toll and the snow-line continues to recede further and further north, the range of the arctic fox shrinks, too, giving way to the northward advance of the red fox. The arctic fox has been losing a lot of it’s land to the red fox.
Where the temperature warms up in the polar day enough to melt the snow, and vegetation is more frequent. The wildlife in the in the region, ranges from different types of species, which includes mammals, fish, birds, mushrooms, and berries.

The black bear can climb trees while he is retreating, by contrast, the brown bear has to stand his ground because his claws are too small and improperly shaped, so they must respond to danger by warding off any would be attackers. Bears have been dehumanized. An open dumpster in Yellowstone was closed because, both the black and brown came to associate humans with food and lost their natural fear of them. Many native American tribes both respected and feared the brown bear, even thinking it was a god. One tale tells of how the black bear was a great spirit, while the brown bear was created by the evil spirit.

Though there are several species of wolf, the gray wolf was once found in the Northern Hemisphere. Largest in North America, the gray wolf can range in different colors depending on which forest of Tundra they range upon.
These gases, with carbon dioxide being the main culprit, prevent solar heat from escaping the earth’s atmosphere, resulting in a rise in temperature, or the greenhouse effect. Already scientists around the world are detecting the numerous and dangerous effects of global warming (Johnson 18). Through these different leaks and spills our Canadian environment is slowly being negatively effected. The impacts of global warming on the Canadian environment are immense. Some of these impacts include ice bridges melting, and will have to be replaced with traditional building materials.
Some hunters say that they can smell you from a mile away. Many hunters wear all kinds of cover scents while hunting, such as raccoon urine, fox urine, also buck and doe urine.

WILDLIFE IN THE TAIGA: The taiga holds many endangered species including the grizzly bear, the Siberian crane, the wood bison, the Siberian tiger and the beaver. Plants besides the evergreens include the Balsalmic fir, the Black spruce, the Douglas fir, the Eastern red cedar, the Jack pine and many more. Because of the extreme cold and low precipitation (12-33 inches per year),in the taiga, the plants have a hard time surviving. The taiga has soil similar to the tundra’s. Many animals use the trees here for shelter including the bald eagle, our national bird.
