Ontario is Canada’s most populous province, accounting for almost 40% of Canada’s population. Ontario had been part of Québec until emerging as a separate entity in 1792. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Québec, became the first four provinces during the 1867 formation of the Canadian Confederation.

Rangifer tarandus - The caribou of the Americas, Europe, and Asia belong to a single species, but there are three subspecies of caribou inhabiting North America: the woodland, the barren-ground, and the Perry. Caribou are different from the other members of deer; the male and female generally carry antlers with the antlers of the male being much larger. Caribou herds have been migrating across Canada for millions of years and have the longest migration route of any terrestrial mammal; annually, they travel over 5,000 kilometers.
