construyen madrigueras y presas.Usan sus colas especiales para advertir a otros
castores del peligro.
Ranger 2 También está el oso polar que podemos encontrar en el norte de Canadá. Estos son los
Owen/Raimundo más grandes de Canadá. Ellos tienen un pelaje grasoso y una capa gruesa de grasa
debajo de la piel que les protege y les permite vivir sobre el hielo y nadar en aguas muy
frías.
Ranger 3 El alce es el tipo de venado más grande. Viven en áreas frías con bosque y lagos. El
Dario/Jan macho tiene una cornamenta muy grande y pesada, comen plantas acuáticas que se
encuentran en lagos poco profundos. Los puedes observar comiendo en el amanecer y
en el atardecer.
Ranger 1 Fui a acampar en el parque nacional de Prince Albert. Allá vi a unos de estos animales.
Nicolas/Diego Fui a pescar y caminar por los senderos en el bosque. ¡Canadá es un lugar maravilloso
para disfrutar de la naturaleza!

Sky/Sara screamed.
Haida 1 Thunderbird flew higher. Then he dropped whale on the highest mountain.
Michelle/Maria
Haida 2 Frog was safe. He thanked his friend raven. Now there were salmon for the people who
Sky/Sara live beside the river.
Haida 1 Whale gasped and shivered on the mountain. He promised to stay out of the river if he
Michelle/Maria could return to the sea.
