All Creatures
The wildlife in Saskatchewan is spread diversely across the region. While the plains were once home to roaming herds of bison, terrain and climate still reflect the hunting and foraging habits of a vast range of birds, insects, water and boreal mammals, and a variety of endangered or vulnerable species.
Large Mammals
"Its angled rays brought the many glyphs, invisible in higher light, into existence; each morning and each evening its rays created them anew: human handprints, faces and footprints, grizzly bear claws, bison hoofprints leading over the edge of the high cliff."
~ Sharon Butala, Coyote’s Morning Cry

Birds
"Here and there meadow larks were suddenly upon straw stacks, telephone wires, fence posts, their song clear with ineffable exuberance that startled and deepened the prairie silence - each quick and impudent climax of notes leaving behind it a vaster, emptier, prairie world."
~ W.O. Mitchell

« Dans le ciel de l'été, d'un bleu absolu, là, un autour seul pendait. Il dérivait bas, dans des cercles paresseux, laissant glisser son ombre sombre sur le chaume, la jachère d'été, le blé cuisant. »
~ W.O. Mitchell
