Nature in the Boreal Forest

Olive the Lake, the Boreal Forest and all its creatures….

Olive the Lake sits in the Boreal Forest and is the perfect place to observe countless types of wildlife. From tiny birds to gigantic moose, and everything in between, see wildlife in its purest surroundings.

Do birds of a feather really flock together? They do in this section, where we’ll give you a sampling of the 462 species of birds you’ll find across Canada.

And where do most birds gather in Canada? In British Columbia, where you may find 362 species, and in Ontario, where 318 species regularly appear.

Many of these species migrate to find suitable breeding grounds, more favourable temperatures and food supplies in winter. Some of them travel great distances—in the fall, many Canada geese make the trip from the Arctic to parts of the United States, sometimes covering more than 1 000 km in one day.

Mammal Fact Sheets

Here’s a section all about the animals that are most like you—that’s right, mammals.

Let us tell you a little about yourself and other mammals. Mammals are warm-blooded animals that have mammary glands and a four-chambered heart. They give birth to live young (as opposed to laying eggs) and are either partially or completely covered in hair.

The teeth of most mammals come in a variety of shapes and sizes designed for chewing many kinds of foods. (Humans, for example, have incisors for cutting, molars for crushing, etc.)

Plus, mammals have larger brains than other vertebrates of equal size, making them most capable learners. This is why you were able to read that last fascinating fact.

There’s much more to know about mammals, so spend some time in this section acquainting yourself with these animals.
