so yeah me and a few friends were wondering what plants and animals and insects can be eaten in ontarios northern forests, cuz were planning a "live off the land" camping trip up there so we need to know so we will be more prepared than we already are

If you can't find out in ontario, just in canada then, and I don't care for what animal, just the first one that opens

I am from Northern Ontario and want to find a water park 3 hrs away at the most. I know there is one in a town that i'm not sure the name of..in between North Bay and Ottawa...it's right beside a restaurant that looks like a noahs ark and has zebras located outside and animal figurines and statues..This place is right on the highway somewhere between North Bay and Ottawa..Any other water parks you know of please list them Thanks!!!

I live in a small rural town. My husband has spent years working on our custom built post beam home. Over the last couple of months, we've had a lot of rodent droppings and we're tired of picking them up. We have heard scratching sounds coming from the cieling and we're worried they'll do damage to our home. Is there any way to get rid of them permanently, without the bats or other animals being killed/injured, have a reasonable cost and need little maintenance and not damage our home. ANY information on these bats, how to get rid of bats pr bats in general, please

I really want to work with animals in the future, they are really my only passion. Reptiles specifically, but I don't believe there are many careers out there involving this. I don't want to be a vet. I suck at math, and chemistry. I get really good grades in Biology however. I just love nature and outdoors, and want a career that portrays that and that I will enjoy. I was looking into zoology, but where exactly is that applied in... zoos? Any help would be MUCH appreciated. I am so lost right now and need some help. I am in grade 11 right now, so there isn't a lot of time left for choosing a career seeing as I have to choose my grade 12 courses already. Guidance counsellors don't help. ALSO, not to bore anyone with all this writing-- I was looking into becoming a game warden, but I hear there isn't a lot of them needed. I live in Northern Ontario. THANKS!! sorry if this isn't the correct category too. If you could explain these a bit, that would really be ideal. Pehaps what highschool requirements are needed too. Thank you.

I have to identify these tracks for a school project and can't seem to make out what this one is. It was taken in Northern Ontario, the animal always walk in a four foot pattern but there seemed to be large leaps in between each jump. At first I though it was a rabbit but it never went to the three feet that you typically see with the two large feet 2 small together. I don't this I can see any claws either but see the pictures and hopefully someone can make a guess. http://www.flickr.com/photos/35398727@N06/

I'm going into grade 12 in september (final year of high school) and I still don't know what I want to do. I've narrowed it down, and realized biology is my favorite class and I would like to do something with nature and outdoors. I live in Northern Ontario if that has any significance. I really don't want to take math again, and I didn't take physics or chem in grade 11 (so can't really start in grade 12..) Some programs that interest me are environmental management, something in marine biology, perhaps something to do with ecology... Anyway, I really want to get prepared and know what I'm doing later on in life. What are some careers that I may want to explore? What university programs should I look at? And finally, do I have to go to University... or can I just go to college for a career in what I'm looking at? What careers do you think I would like that I only need to go to college to do? Thanks for any help you can provide me!!

There's some sort of animal climbing around in the tree outside. It's snorting a lot and very loudly, ever hear a pug inhale air and snort? Kinda like that but louder and more nasally. Maybe sounds kinda like a pug snort and before it was kinda making a clicking whiny sound before it started eating (It's up there eating apples from my neighbors tree I think.) It's fairly big I'm guessing because it's moving the tree a lot and you hear branches breaking. I shone my flash light out there and I keep seeing the reflection of eyes, a few pair of eyes but the sound seems like it's only coming from one animal and judging by the size of the eyes they're smaller animals and move easily in the tree. I live in northern Ontario and we have a lot of black bears in the area and your run of the mill raccoons and whatnot but I don't think they're either of those. The snorting and clikcing is very odd, I have no idea what makes that sound. I've heard this animal before at my parents house when I was younger, they thought I was just dreaming the whole thing. Now it's in my sisters backyard and I really really want to know what it is. the second time I ment "Kinda like a pig snort" I just stuck my head out the window again, the clicking a whining is from a different animal in a different tree. lol. the other animals are larger then a bat, this raccoon size, which they just might be. The larger snorting animal is probably more towards the size of a medium sized dog.

Every time someone asks the question are you for or against hunting and I answer "For", then try to explain that hunting is part of my heritage and I get thumbs down. I grew up in Northern Ontario Canada were people couldn't afford to go to the grocery store to buy meat (It's the same today). Hunting deer, moose, and other game animals was a way to survive, a way to feed your family. Even south in farming country, hunting is a necessary thing. Deer can eat a lot of the farmers crops and the more deer you have in the area the more wolves, coyotes, foxes, and cougars you will have in the area. Do you people that are against hunting think that these predator animals will just eat the deer and other game animals, well they wont. They'll eat anythink that they think they can kill, like farm animals, pets, and god forbid small children. If your For or Against hunting that's your opinion, but you got to know it's a necessary evil, it's part of life, so deal with it. My question is: Why are you against hunting ? I think they just labeled it a sport, I don't know of to many people that shot game animals for nothing. It's for FOOD my second additional detail change the word people to Hunters konstipashen I respect your opinion and I agree hunting is not for everyone

My husband and I (and our baby girl) are in the market for a house with some land. The thing is that we have never farmed, with the exception of a moderate sized garden. We're vegetarians(still eat eggs and cheese though!) and aren't interested in raising animals for meat, but we'd love to have sheep and shear them for wool, some chickens for eggs. When I was really young we had horses. My family that has any history with farming is long gone now. We live in northern Ontario and really want to establish a small holding hobby farm and grow our own food and have some animals. Where do you learn how to take care of these animals? I would really love some kind of mentorship where we can be shown the right way, but I have no idea where to go. There is only so much you can learn from a book. Thanks for any advice.

Eventually when I am ready, I would like to adopt a new pet. I really enjoy my hamster and play with him a lot but I can not take him outside ( I live in Northern Ontario). Since I am relatively active and outside a lot, especially in the summer, I would like an animal that I can take for walks. Can you do this with a Hedgehog or Degu? What about other similar animals? I do not want a ferret since they can be rather smelly. I would also prefer a nocturnal pet since I am away for most of the day, that is why a cat or dog is out of the question. Any ideas?

i have had 4 sightings of bigfoot in the past now i think i know what will capture one or two of the species or subspecies (yes i believe in supspecies of bigfoot/sasqutach) everytime i have seen a sasquatch in the most un-populated forested place in utah or other states (including ontario canada) ianywho each time i have seen one was when there was or recently had been a large fire that i think sparked the animals curiosity. 3 of the times though the animal was a shadow in the tent but the most recent i saw its face a human like face with light brown hair in northern utah the face had an african like nose pericing eyes and a long thin lipped mouth it stank pretty bad and when i shot at it with my .22 caliber rifle it ran off the thing was 8 feet tall and furry all over so not a human.. and i shot at a tree near it not hitting the thing because i like to respect the animal i shot to scare it off and yes it was bigfoot the 4th time but im not sure the 1-3 times

Basically I need to keep this under 1.5 mins but need to include all this info: 1) name of Animal 2) At risk designation 3) phys. desc. of animal 4) habitat 5) predators and food 6) factors which led to at risk status 7) interesting/unique facts 8) correct use of vocab (prey, carnivore etc.) THIS IS MY PRESENTATION. If someone could shorten it but still keep all that info, or recommend something I could do. The bald eagle is a bird of prey found in North America. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the United States, and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with abundant food sources and old, mature stands of coniferous or hardwood trees for perching, roosting, and nesting. In Ontario they would be found near the Great Lakes, primarily around Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Lake Superior. The Bald Eagle is a large bird, with a body length of 70–100 centimeters, a wingspan of up to 7 ft and a mass of 5.5–15 lb; females are about 25 percent larger than males. The adult Bald Eagle has a brown body with a white head and tail, and bright yellow irises, talons, and a hooked beak. Males and females are identical in plumage coloration. The Bald Eagle’s diet mainly consists of fish, but they are opportunistic predators. Their mammalian prey consists of anything from rabbits to deer fawns. They also consume avian organisms such as geese, ducks and gulls. They have been known to rob ospreys of prey. In winter they will scavenge a lot of carcasses, mostly big fish and whales. A healthy adult bald eagle would be considered an apex predator. This basically means that it is at the top of its food chain and virtually has no predators. Currently the Bald eagle is a Special Concern in Ontario, but is Not At Risk nationally. Beginning in the 1950's, Bald Eagle populations in eastern North America declined as a result of the widespread use of pesticides such as DDT. The use of these chemicals is now restricted in Canada and Bald Eagle populations in many areas are no longer experiencing pesticide-related reproductive failures. Today Bald Eagles remain vulnerable to illegal shooting, accidental trapping, poisoning and electrocution. An interesting fact I found is that even though their names are the “Bald” eagles they aren’t actually bald. In fact they go through one of the most varied plumage changes of any North American bird. During its first four weeks of life, an eaglet's feather goes from white to grey. At about five weeks, brown and black feathers begin to grow. The bald eagle progressively changes until it reaches adult plumage at five years. Their nest is the largest of any bird in North America; it is used repeatedly over many years and with new material added each year it may eventually be as large as 13 ft deep, 8 ft across and weigh over 1 tonne.
