Animals of North America

Bear
There are eight different kinds of bears in the world. Black bears
and brown bears live in many areas of North America and polar
bears live in parts of Canada and Alaska. Many kinds of bears
hibernate, or sleep in the winter. This helps them save energy. In
the winter the baby bears, or cubs, are born.

Raccoon
The raccoon is a small mammal that looks like it's wearing a mask. It
has a striped tail. Raccoons are omnivorous, which means that they can
eat many different things. They have very dexterous paws which they

can use to open containers to get at the food inside.

Beaver
The beaver is a large rodent with a flat tail that it uses for swimming
and for balancing. The beaver is famous for its ability to build dams in
rivers and streams.

Bison
The bison, which is also called the buffalo, has a big head and
curved horns. Bison live in herds, or groups of animals, in the
western United States and Canada. An adult bison can weigh
up to 2000 pounds and a large bison can eat as much as 60
pounds of grass a day!

Moose
A moose is a member of the deer family. In the spring the male
moose grows a set of antlers on its head which he loses in the
following winter. Moose can grow to be 7 feet tall and 1500 pounds. Moose are
herbivores, which means that they eat plants.
