Tuesdays for Travis - Autumn in Algonquin Provincial Park

Today I thought we could take another small trip back to Algonquin Provincial Park with a slightly different look at it than the post in late September.

The following video will provide a closer look at the flora and fauna found within the Park including enough water to satisfy any person dreaming of fishing.






As an added treat for animal lovers, I have included this video of canoeists getting close and personal to one of Canada’s largest mammals found in the wilderness areas within Algonquin Park.

Webradio, thanks, glad you enjoyed them.

Cool videos. I like that song and those canoers are lucky they didn't tick that moose off.

Barbara Martin said...

Travis, I think they were fortunate it was a young bull moose, and not an older one with a huge rack. I can imagine him dipping his head and flipping their canoe over while ripping the side out of it.

Cloudia, they are very interesting animals.

Philip, some kind of water plant. There are types of water lilies that flourish here, and the moose can be found close to water eating marsh grass or whatever lush vegetation they take a liking to.

I was surprised the people weren't a little more cautious with the moose considering an adult weighs in around 2500 pounds.

A bear will not take on an adult moose that stands 6 to 7 feet at the shoulder. A pack of wolves are even careful around moose, often going after the weak or the young.

I will be posting later a more in-depth look at these great creatures.
