There are lots of animals in the Yukon. There are grizzly bears and black bears, they are mammals and usually have one to four cubs.There are also birds like eagles, there are golden eagles and bald eagles. Most eagles will kill by hitting their pray with their claws so hard that it brakes their spine and kills them.There are other birds like loons, they are birds that are black and have white dots on their backs.Eagles mostly eat : grouse, squirrels, rabbits, hares and other small animals. In the Yukon there is The Porcupine caribou herd that comes through every year. They are mammals and have their babies in the U. S. A. The Porcupine caribou herd travels over 1000 km. every year to have their babies. Caribou are large mammals that have brown fur but they have a white on there stomatch and tail and have fuzz on there antlers. Somme people want to drill for oil where the caribou are having there babies , and the govrment says that the oil is worth 100,000,000 $! In the Yukon ther are lots of mammals with antlers such ; moose, moose are mammals that are big and as tall as 3 meters high and 2 meters wide.I have seen a moose in the Yukon, it was a male moose and it hade big antlars. In the Yukon there are other animals there are mountain goats too. Mouatain goats are strong mammals with horns and have white all over there bodys , even on there legs. There are big cats too, there are lynx and kougers,
kougers have paw prints as big as an avredg adelt's hand!
Lnyx have a few hiars on the top of there ears, they have brown fur all over there bodys and have long wiskers.There are wolfs and wolverines in the Yukon, artic wolfs and there fur never changes coulor and it is always wite. Wolverines are smaller and have brown fur,wolverines are very very dangerous .
Threre are lots of small rodents in the Yukon such as skwirls, martens, growned squirrels, and all of them are brown and are as big as an advredg adult hand.
