Annotation:
In Canada there are over 300 species of plants and animals that exist nowhere else on earth. Twelve animals are showcased in this book- some are world-famous such as the Spirit Bear and Whooping Crane. The habitat and diet of each animal or bird is described as well as an explanation of how endangered it is considered to be.
