Flora and fauna in Riding Mountain National Park
Riding Mountain is a vibrant wilderness oasis, set high above a sea of prairie agricultural lands. Located in the centre of North America, the Boreal Forest, Aspen Woodland, Prairie and Eastern Hardwood Biomes come together. These Biomes, occur on a hilly, 'Pot-and Kettle' glacial moraine with fertile soils and an abundance of wetlands, streams and lakes. This biogeophysical phenomenon creates a mosaic of flourishing ecosystems with an incredible diversity of plant and animal species.
Moose, elk, deer, beaver, River otter, porcupine, Grey wolf, lynx, cougar, Common Loon, White Pelican, Great Grey Owl and Canada Goose are just a few of the animal and bird inhabitants of Riding Mountain National Park. The park boasts one of the largest populations of Black bears in North America. There is also a wild bison range located near Lake Audy, where you can view the Prairie Bison on native fescue grasslands.
Riding Mountain National Park is also well known for its wildflowers and wide range of unique vegetation, most of which is not seen anywhere else in the prairie regions of Canada.
