Wild animals of the Yukon
In the Yukon there are many different species of animals, like Mooses,
Bears, Deer, Caribou and much more. A few months ago are class
did a research on animals of the Yukon, and I chose to do the Arctic
Fox. What I thought was coolest fact is how the Arctic Foxes are
white in the winter and in spine they turn brown, and stay that way for
the rest of the summer. I also know some information on Squirrels
because there is tons of them down at my cabin, and just before winter
they gather hundreds of pine cones; it makes a big mess. One of my best
friends Danica did her research on the Red Fox and she said that there
are 3 different tips of Red Foxes. Julia one of other good
friends knows allot about Ravens and she told me that that the Raven is
bigger than the Crow. Another one of my friends named Julianna
did her research on Lemming and said that in movies Lemming would jump
off cliffs, but in real life they really don’t. Olivia another
good friend of mine did the Coyote she said that Coyote eats cats and
tries to eat dogs. One of my other good friends named Sonali did
her research on the Black bear she told me that the coolest fact about
the Black bear is that they eat allot of food and one of there favorite
foods is the Grizzly bear. Samantha did the Lynx she said that
they can run in one meter deep of snow, and when their paw is spread
out all the way it is 14 inches long. Nadia did one of every
bodies favorites the Moose. She said the coolest fact about the
Moose is the Rut season, that means the males throat gets swollen and
he becomes very aggressive. He will find a female and protect her
very well. Sometimes, the male will have groups of 10 females!
One of my other friends Emily did the Grizzly bear she thinks the
coolest fact is how the Grizzlies are the biggest bears in the
world. Katilin did the porcupine she told me that their are over
300 quills on it. Adrienne did her research on the Mountain Goat,
and she said that the coolest fact is how they can see a mile away from
them.
If you come to the Yukon you might see more animals than I listed above, but you’ll at least see one.
