Because of Canada’s huge size, there are dozens of different terrain types, all of which provide the ecosystems required for a number of different species. The seemingly barren tundra of the north is home to some of the largest caribou populations in the world, and sportsmen have the chance to go hunting for the largest terrestrial predator on the planet in the polar bear. Sprawling prairies in Alberta and Saskatchewan mean great opportunities for antelope, the lake systems of Manitoba carry a huge range of waterfowl. The far west of the country, where British Columbia and the Yukon territories lie beyond the Rocky Mountains, offers some of the greatest animal diversity to be found anywhere on the planet. Both province and territory include one of the rarest hunting opportunities in the world, where hunters have a chance to take a buffalo. The elk and grizzly bear hunting in British Columbia is legendary, and the Yukon Territory consistently offers some of the largest moose taken anywhere in the world.
