Human snowbirds love to head south when temperatures in Canada drop below zero. For all other forms of wildlife, winter inspires a variety of behaviour, from settling into hibernation to embracing all-out survival tactics.

For our HINTERLAND WHO’S WHO WINTER WILDLIFE QUIZ, we’re showcasing five Canadian species that like to stay active during the cold weather. Answer the related questions and you’ll instantly qualify to win our Below Zero Prize Bundle:

  • $500 gift card to purchase your outdoor winter fun materials (skates, sleds, skiis, etc)
  • A one-year digital magazine subscription to either Canadian Wildlife or Biosphère magazine
  • Print of “Arctic Springtime” by Pierre Francis Surtes
