With its pristine environment, incredible natural beauty and unlimited natural wild areas, where every animal runs free, Labrador is home to a spectacular variety of wildlife. From the smallest of birds (ruby-throated humming bird) to the largest mammals (whales) on earth, these animals frequently visit Labrador on their annual migration routes.

Labrador is home to the largest barren ground caribou herd in North America, the George River herd, numbering in the 100's of thousands. Labrador is also home to the moose, the largest member of the deer family and is the biggest land based mammal in North America. The largest carnivore in world, Nanook (polar bear) which spends most of its time on the Arctic ice flows frequently visits our shores.

Around every turn, behind every rock, on our beaches and on our trails, no one can predict what they will see. For wildlife enthusiasts, Labrador is the place to be.

Regular sightings of black bear, red and artic fox, snowshoe hare, wolf, muskrat and groundhogs almost guarantee visitors a view of Labrador's wildlife. Caribou roam the barrens of Labrador and can often be seen while driving our roads or snowmobile trails. Polar bears are most often sighted in Labrador's northern coastline but have occasionally ventured as far south as Forteau.
