  • #WildlifeFact: Fossil evidence suggests that the ancestors of the muskox crossed the Bering land bridge to North America about 90 000 years ago and survived glacial times away from prehistoric people in ice-free areas (called "glacial refugia") in the northern arctic islands and Greenland. With the retreat of the glacial ice, muskoxen spread through northern Canada and Greenland, then westward into Alaska.

#Faitfaunique : L’étude des fossiles porte à croire que les ancêtres du bœuf musqué ont atteint l’Amérique du Nord par le détroit de Béring il y a environ 90 000 ans et ont survécu aux glaciations, à l’abri des êtres humains préhistoriques, dans les régions libres de glace du Groenland et des îles septentrionales de l’Arctique. Avec le retrait des glaces, l’espèce s’est répandue dans tout le Nord du Canada et au Groenland, puis s’est dirigée vers l’ouest, en Alaska.

  • #WildlifeFact: During the winter months, moose live almost solely on twigs and shrubs such as balsam fir, poplar, red osier dogwood, birch, willow, and red and striped maples. Winter is a time of hunger for moose. They restrict their food intake and limit their activity to save energy. When food becomes scarce, as it often does toward spring, moose will strip bark from trees, especially poplars.

#Faitfaunique : Le régime d’hiver se compose surtout de rameaux de sapin baumier, de peuplier, de cornouiller stolonifère, de bouleau, de saule, d’érable rouge et d’érable de Pennsylvanie, mais aussi de petites quantités de nombreux autres arbres et arbustes. L’hiver est, pour les orignaux, une saison de famine. Ils réduisent leur consommation de nourriture et limitent leurs activités pour ménager leurs énergies. Quand la nourriture se fait rare, comme c’est souvent le cas à l’approche du printemps, les orignaux s’attaquent à l’écorce des arbres, en particulier celle des peupliers.

  • #WildlifeFact: Marten hunt at all times of the day in spring and summer and are most active at daybreak and dusk. During these seasons they are active for about 16 hours a day. Females with young in the den are only active during the day for about six to eight hours.

#Faitfaunique : Au printemps et en été, la martre chasse à toute heure du jour, surtout à l’aube et au crépuscule, durant environ 16 heures par jour, ou durant 6 à 8 heures s’il s’agit d’une femelle dont la portée est encore au gîte. L’activité nocturne diminue avec les baisses de température; en effet, durant les mois les plus froids de l’année, la martre ne chasse que quelques heures, durant la période la plus chaude de la journée.

  • #WildlfieFact The smallest of the mammals of the High Arctic, lemmings are key species in arctic ecosystems. For unknown reasons, lemming populations fluctuate drastically, peaking about every four years and then crashing almost to extinction. Because the small bodies of lemmings are important food for ermines, arctic foxes, Snowy Owls, Gyrfalcons, and jaegers, this mysterious cycle controls the rhythm of animal life on the tundra. .

#Faitfaunique Plus petits mammifères de l’extrême Arctique, les lemmings constituent un élément clé des écosystèmes arctiques. Pour des raisons inconnues, les populations de lemmings connaissent des fluctuations radicales, culminant tous les quatre ans environ pour ensuite s’effondrer presque jusqu’à l’extinction. Comme ces petits animaux figurent en bonne place au le menu de l’hermine, du renard arctique, du Harfang des neiges, du Faucon gerfaut et des labbes, ce mystérieux cycle rythme la vie animale de la toundra. .

  • #WildlifeFact: Killer whales communicate with each other through a complex variety of whistles, squeaks and whines produced in special air-filled nasal sacs well below the blowhole. The sounds vary from pod to pod, with each group having its own unique dialect. Killer whales can recognize their own pods easily from several miles away based on distinctive songs. Researchers have shown that the more similar the dialects between two pods, the closer they are related. Pods of whales with similar dialects are called clans. .
