Alberta Native Animals

Spanning prairies, forests, and mountain ranges, Alberta is home to a remarkable variety of native animals. Iconic species like elk, moose, and bighorn sheep roam alongside red foxes, snowshoe hares, and diverse birdlife. These animals play vital roles in the province’s ecosystems, supporting pollination, seed dispersal, and natural balance. From summer meadows buzzing with life to quiet, snow-covered winters, Alberta’s wildlife adapts beautifully to the changing seasons.
