Exploration The Adventure Canadian CG Staff ... Canada Travel Services A compendium of outfitters, tour operators and travel guides in Canada Meet our Partners in Exploration and Discovery All about albertosaurus Picture a Tyrannosaurus rex : a 7,000 kilogram monster-predator, measuring five metres at the hip, 12 metres in length, with a set of 60 banana-sized bone-crushing teeth. Now picture a smaller, leaner version: the albertosaurus. Albertosaurus roamed Alberta's Red Deer River region 76 million years ago, using its flesh-slicing teeth to dine on the late Cretaceous period's cohort of plant-eating dinosaurs. A close relative of Tyrannosaurus rex , albertosaurus was not so heavily built as its cousin. While both dinosaurs moved on two legs, T.rex would have dwarfed the 1500-kg, three-metre tall albertosaurus had they lived during the same era (T.rex ruled the Earth some 9 million years later). Advertisement Albertosaurus bones were some of the first to be discovered in Alberta. In 1884, Joseph Tyrrell , a surveyor with the Geological Survey of Canada, found an intact dinosaur skull near Drumheller, Alberta. There were no dinosaur experts in Canada at the time, so the specimen was sent to a professor in Philidelphia, who indentified it as a

Facts on Canadian Geography Source: http://canada.cio-bic.gc.ca/facts/geography-e.html , March 2000 For more facts on Canada, visit the Canada Information Office Geography Occupying the northern half of the North American continent, Canada has a land mass of 9 970 610 km , making it the second-largest country in the world after Russia. From east to west, Canada encompasses six time zones. Canada's motto, "From Sea to Sea," is geographically inaccurate. In addition to its coastlines on the Atlantic and Pacific, Canada has a third sea coast on the Arctic Ocean, giving it the longest coastline of any country. To the south, Canada shares an 8892 km boundary with the United States. To the north, the Arctic islands come within 800 km of the North Pole. Canada's neighbour across the Arctic Ocean is Russia. Because of the harsh northern climate, only 12 percent of the land is suitable for agriculture. Thus, most of the population of 30 million live within a few hundred kilometres of the southern border, where the climate is milder, in a long thin band stretching between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. If you fly over Manitoba or northern Ontario in summer, you will see more water than land: lakes, big and small, so many that they could not possibly be counted. It has been estimated that Canada has one-seventh of the world's fresh water. In addition to the Great Lakes, which it shares with the United States, Canada has many large rivers and lakes.

89. Alberta's Special Places 2000 Photos and Information about alberta s 6 Distinct Geographical Regions. Presently, species that are endangered enjoy no protection in canada and http://raysweb.net/specialplaces/pages/places.html

Alberta is blessed with six distinct natural regions: Aspen Parkland Boreal Forest Canadian Shield Grassland ... Foothill and Rocky Mountain . Each region has its own unique landscape features and climate and each supports its own distinct species of animals and plants. Click on the map (left) to visit one of the six bio-regions. Contrary to popular belief, a surprising number of Alberta species (35 in all) are in serious trouble. The more commonly known ones are mountain caribou, burrowing owl, swift fox, whooping crane, northern leopard frog, trumpter swan, bull trout, piping plover, peregrine falcon, long-tailed weasel, Baird's sparrow, white pelican and the ferrunginous hawk. It is our belief that the most certain way to ensure the survival of Alberta's wild species is to protect a portion of each of the six regions from intensive human development. Hunting, fishing, riding and other recreational pursuits would be allowed, but industrial development would not. Our present Provincial and Federal governments are now making the decisions that will determine whether future generations will also be able to experience the special places and wild species that we currently enjoy. This website was designed by some of the many citizens who cherish Alberta's special places and whose hope it is to see a representative portion of each of them preserved for future generations.

ITIS Biological name search Species Access Canadian specimen information network ... Butterflies Canadian Geography and Butterfly Distribution Tundra Boreal Forest (or Taiga) Cordillera Prairie ... Changing Butterfly Distributions Canada, with a land area of 9,922,335 square kilometres (almost 4 million square miles), is the second largest country in the world in area. It extends more than 5000 kilometres east to west from St. John's in Newfoundland to Victoria on Vancouver Island, and more than 4600 kilometres from the top of Ellesmere Island in the Arctic to Point Pelee in southern Ontario to the south. Most of this vast area, however, is sparsely populated, with the majority of Canada's 30 million inhabitants living in a narrow zone along Lake Ontario and in the St. Lawrence River Valley, an area that occupies less than 1 per cent of the land area. Politically, Canada was until recently divided into ten provinces that cross the southern half of Canada and two territories in the north. From east to west, the provinces are Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, and the two territories were Northwest Territories and Yukon. On April 1, 1999, the eastern half of the mainland of the Northwest Territory, and most of the Arctic Islands, was made into the new territory of Nunavut. Two life zones dominate Canada's landscape. The boreal forest, or Taiga Zone, that stretches from Newfoundland, the northern edge of the Great Plains, and the Rocky Mountain foothills northward to treeline, occupies fully 50 per cent of Canada's land mass or five million square kilometres; the Tundra Zone that stretches across northern Canada north of treeline, occupies another 25 per cent or 2.5 million square kilometres. These two life zones are the most sparsely populated parts of Canada, and have few roads to provide access for survey work on butterflies; the spotty distribution of butterflies on the maps for these areas reflects this paucity of available data.
