Animals of North America
Bear
There are eight different kinds of bears in the
world. Black bears and brown bears live in many areas of North America and
polar bears live in parts of Canada and Alaska. In the winter many
kinds of bears hibernate, or sleep in the winter. This helps them save
energy during the winter. In the winter the baby bears, or cubs, are born.
Raccoon
The raccoon is a small mammal that looks like it's wearing a mask. It has
a striped tail. Raccoons are omnivorous, which means that they can eat
many different things. They have very dexterous paws which they can use to
open containers to get at the food inside.
Beaver
The beaver is a large rodent with a flat tail that it uses for swimming and for
balancing. The beaver is famous for it's ability to build dams in rivers
and streams.
Moose
A moose is a member of the deer family. In the spring the male moose grows
a set of antlers on its head which he loses in the following winter. Moose
can grow to be 7 feet tall and 1500 pounds. Moose are herbivores, which
means that they eat plants.
Bison
The
bison, which is also called the buffalo, has a big head and curved horns.
Bison live in herds, or groups of animals, in the western United States and
Canada. An adult bison can weigh up to 2000 pounds and a large bison can
eat as much as 60 pounds of grass a day!
