Boreal Zone
The boreal zone is Canada’s largest vegetation zone, making up 55 per cent of the country’s land mass. It extends from Yukon and northern British Columbia in the west to Newfoundland and Labrador in the east. While much of the region is covered by forest, it also includes lakes, rivers, wetlands and naturally treeless areas. The boreal zone is home to diverse wildlife, and is crucial to maintaining biological diversity, storing carbon, purifying air and water, and regulating the climate. With more than 2.5 million Canadians living in the boreal zone, the forest also provides these rural communities with jobs and economic stability.

Borealopelta
Borealopelta is a genus of plant-eating, armoured dinosaur within the family Nodosauridae. It is closely related to the famous Ankylosaurus. Borealopelta lived during the Early Cretaceous period (145 million─100.5 million years ago) in Alberta. Paleontologists estimate the only fossil of the animal to be about 112 million years old, making Borealopelta Alberta’s oldest dinosaur. It was discovered in 2011 during mining north of Fort McMurray. The best-preserved armoured dinosaur in the world, paleontologists retrieved Borealopelta’s body uncrushed, with all its armour in place, and with stomach contents and large amounts of skin and scales still intact.
