Have you ever seen a Walrus, other than in a zoo? Me neither. This big guy lives in and around the northern Hudson Bay area, as well as Greenland, which is not part of Canada, but soon may be part of the US lol. Next we have the Grizzly, someone you wouldn’t want to run into on the hiking trails in the Canadian Rockies, and other forested areas. Featured on the 74 cent stamp is the “Wapiti”, otherwise known as Elk (also the new name for the formerly Edmonton Eskimos football team, now called Edmonton Elk), and generally found in the same regions as the Grizzly. Finally the largest of them all, the Musk Ox. These mammoth animals live in the Northern Canadian tundra a well as in Greenland. Which is your favourite mammal? Thanks for stopping by.

Sort:  

amazing flora and fauna of Canada, however, its wild weather is quite challenging and unpredictable

Yes, Canada is a nation of extreme weather actually, from arctic cold to very warm in the southern British Columbia area.

I like the Canadian 97 yellow elk. It looks nice. They're all pretty and clean. I think there might walruses in places in the wild in countries like south Africa

Yes, I don't believe they are exclusive to Canada. Thanks for stopping by.

Those are cool animals, I like the Blu whale, is it Moby? Long live Greenland as not in the US

Moby the walrus, yes bos.

Very cool stamps! I've never been far enough north to see a walrus in the wild. I know they prefer colder water that seals and sea lions like we have in California! Elk are very cool animals, and they aren't tiny if you see them in person. I would avoid the grizzly though, bears are so unpredictable as you know. That's why you carry bear spray! lol

Among all the pictures, this picture is the one I really like, yes.. I don't know what animal this is, but I think it's a bison or something similar. Have a nice day♥️♥️
