This is part two of a three part series about animals that travel long distances regularly in or through Canada.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Every year, Canada’s reindeer and caribou populations undergo one of North America’s greatest land-based journeys in search of calving grounds and food sources. While reindeer and caribou are technically from the same family, reindeer are typically shorter with thicker hair. This difference is likely due to the thousands of years of differing environmental conditions leading to genetic variation between the two.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Reindeer - Northwest Territories⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Beyond being one of the best places in the world to experience the Northern Lights, the Northwest Territories (@spectacularnwt) also boasts the only reindeer herd in Canada! Numbering approximately 3,000 strong they can run an astonishing 70 kilometres (43 miles) per hour and some wander over 5,000 kilometres (3,100 miles) in a given year. You can even take a journey of your own with Inuvialuit-owned and operated Tundra North Tours (@tundranorthtours) to witness the herd in action.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Qamanirjuaq Caribou Herd - Nunavut⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Just off the shores of Ennadai Lake in Nunavut you’ll find the fly-in Arctic Haven Wilderness Lodge (@weberarctic) where you can witness the Qamanirjuaq caribou herd undertake their annual fall migration. Travelling between the calving grounds and the tree-line, a herd hundreds of thousands strong can be seen just beyond the comfort of the lodge thanks to being perfectly situated near the herds migratory route. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #CanadaNice #ExploreCanada⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ *Know before you go!
