Manitoba's Native Plants and Animals

Manitoba’s geography ranges from prairie and parkland to vast stretches of boreal forest and tundra in the far north. Its lakes and rivers, including the mighty Hudson Bay coastline, are rich with waterfowl and migratory birds. Wildflowers like prairie smoke and harebell bloom in open grasslands, while spruce and tamarack dominate the northern forests. Moose, black bear, and woodland caribou thrive here, alongside countless smaller mammals and bird species.
