Canada has the world\u2019s largest beaver dam in Wood Buffalo National Park. It\u2019s about 850m long (that\u2019s like 8 football fields!) and it\u2019s so big, you can see it from outer space. In fact, it was discovered from a picture taken by a satellite camera.

The tectonic plates beneath this mountain at Kluane National Park are constantly moving and slowly pushing the mountain up. At 5,959m, it\u2019s so high that many visitors never see the peak. Even when it\u2019s not covered by clouds, it\u2019s a difficult, off-trail hike to see the top even for experienced climbers.

At Ivvavik National Park, it stays dark for a whole month during the winter, and in the summer, there are two months of 24-hour sunlight.

In some areas of the Bay of Fundy, the water rises 16 meters \u2013 that\u2019s the height of a four-storey building! These powerful tides have carved out steep cliffs and tall rock formations called sea stacks. Check out more information about the tides at Fundy National Park by clicking here<\/a>!<\/p>\n Many secrets lie beneath the waters at Fathom Five National Marine Park. Over 20 shipwrecks can be explored amongst ancient underwater trees. These trees are still rooted to the bottom of the lake after waters levels rose thousands of years ago.

Parks Canada starts controlled, \u201cprescribed fires\u201d in places like Jasper National Park. Regular forest fires actually create a diversity of plants in the environment, which provides homes for animals and helps prevent uncontrollable wildfire. To learn more about the benefits of these prescribed fires, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Did you know that there is a type of bear only found in Canada? The Haida Gwaii black bear have survived off of salmon and shellfish for so long that they\u2019ve developed larger jaws and teeth than other black bears. They live in Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine Conservation Reserve and Haida Heritage Site and other parts of these islands off the coast of British Columbia.

At Wapusk National Park, female polar bears give birth to and nurture their young in dens. There are over 900 polar bears in the park! In the Cree language, \u201cWapusk\u201d means \u201cwhite bear.\u201d Find out more about polar bears and see a photo gallery of polar bear cubs here<\/a>!<\/p>\n Sable Island National Park Reserve is home to around 500 wild horses that roam the island freely.
