Canada
Polar bears on the tundra, moose in the boreal forest, and some of the last great wilderness on Earth.
22 species to spot
Wildlife overview
Canada spans six time zones and holds more intact wilderness than almost any country, from boreal forest and Arctic tundra to Rocky Mountain peaks and three ocean coastlines. For Catch'Um collectors, Canada is legendary territory: polar bears waiting for sea ice in Churchill, moose wading northern lakes, and wolves running the tree line.
From the ice floes of Hudson Bay to the temperate rainforests of British Columbia, Canada's wildlife is tied to seasons and scale, vast landscapes where a single encounter can define a collection.
