Join us on a tour to look for the largest land mammals in North America - the Wood Bison! NWT is home to North America's largest free roaming herd of wood bison - and from Yellowknife we can take a day tour to look for them.
How big are wood bison? The bison bulls can stand up to 6ft tall at their shoulders, 13ft long, and can weigh more than a tonne. Females are smaller and can weigh up to 1,200 pounds.
Will we see any baby bison? It is common to see newborn and growing calves among the herds.
Could we see other animals too? Hopefully. We have previously spotted black bear, eagles, fox, porcupines.
Where do we travel? We travel on highway 3 south, near the world's 10th largest lake -...
