Out on the prairies and in the forests, you'll spot animals that are both familiar and iconic like the white tailed deer , the massive wood bison, and the quick white tailed jackrabbit. Deer are everywhere, adapting to farms and forests, bison are the giants of the boreal who remind us of the province’s history, and jackrabbits are those speedy hares that change their coats with the seasons.
