footprint on the Arctic Fox Michael Mays Biology 102 April 28‚ 2011 I wanted to do my research on an animal that was not all that common. We hear all the time about if we don’t stop doing this or this then there won’t be any more Polar Bears‚ etc. But there are so many other species out there that we never hear about that really might have a bigger impact on humans if they become extinct.

framework consists of 15 ecozones. Within these are 194 ecoregions. Arctic Cordillera This ecozone incorporates vast polar ice fields and has some of the most spectacular alpine glacier scenery in the world. Massive ice caps and glaciers mask many of the rugged mountains. Some of Canada’s highest but least-known peaks are found here‚ towering over U-shaped valleys and deep fiords that extend many kilometres inland. This Arctic Cordillera occupies the northeastern fringe of the Northwest Territories

A biome‚ also known as life zones‚ consists of all plants‚ animals‚ and other organisms‚ as well the physical environment in a particular area. A biome is characterized by its’ plant life‚ climate‚ and location. The climate and physical features determine the boundaries of a biome. A biome is made up of many different ecosystems. The ecosystems tend to have the same pants and animals as neighboring biomes around the boundaries. The major biomes are the tundra‚ taiga‚ tropical rain forest‚ temperate

be the Coy-wolf - a new four-legged hybrid cross between the Western Coyote and the Eastern wolf. With adaptive instincts from the early generations of the Western Coyote and the large skeletal and frame size of the Eastern Wolf‚ the Coy-wolf is a very new and dangerous species. Rather than preying on smaller animals like a coyote would do‚ the coy-wolf has the ability to target animals like deer‚ young moose‚ and other mid sized animals. With the ability to learn
