Sable Island Horses

The wild horses, named for the island they inhabit, are now the only terrestrial mammals on Sable Island aside from the few inhabitants. They exhibit great variability in size, conformation and colour and most closely resemble the Spanish barb, a small, tough horse that originated in North Africa, and the Acadian horse, the common working horse of the Atlantic provinces from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The stallions weigh 270–360 kg and stand about 14 hands (140 cm) at the withers (shoulders). Mares are a little smaller, averaging about 40 kg less. The Sable Island horse is the provincial horse of Nova Scotia.

Salamander Species in Canada

Salamanders are tailed amphibians belonging to the order Caudata. There are around 800 known species worldwide; 22 are found in Canada. In addition to these species, the unisexual Ambystoma, a unique lineage of salamanders that does not conform to the typical definition of a species, are also found in Canada. Salamanders mainly live in the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and tropical South and Central America. North America is home to more species of salamanders than anywhere else in the world. In Canada, salamanders are found from the Maritimes to British Columbia, and as far north as central Labrador and northern British Columbia; none have been recorded on the island of Newfoundland.

Salish Woolly Dog

The Salish Woolly dog was an important part of Coast Salish life throughout southern Vancouver Island, the Strait of Georgia, and Washington State, as the dogs’ hair was used to weave clothing and blankets. Due to the increased presence of European settlers and their machine-spun sheep wool, the Salish Woolly dog population declined in the 1800s until its extinction around 1900.

Salmon

The salmon is a family of fish, Salmonidae [Lat salire, "to leap"], with soft fin rays, a short dorsal fin, an adipose (fatty) fin, and teeth in the jaws. The family includes salmon, trout and char of the subfamily Salmoninae, the graylings of the subfamily Thymallinae and the whitefishes of the subfamily Coregoninae. Salmonids are native to north temperate and subarctic waters. However, because of their tremendous sportfishing appeal, they have been introduced to all continents except Antarctica. Five genera of Salmoninae are recognized. Two are Eurasian, Brachymystax and Hucho. Three are found in both hemispheres, including Canada: Salmo, the trouts and the Atlantic salmon; Oncorhynchus, the Pacific salmon; and Salvelinus, the chars.
