Boreal Highlands Wildlife

Caribou roaming the Highlands subregionThe animals of the Boreal Highlands Subregion are similar to those of the Central Mixedwood Subregion, although the species diversity is somewhat reduced although not as much as in the Subarctic Subregion. The occurrence of woodland caribou in the Birch and Caribou mountains is noteworthy although this species also uses adjacent Subregions as well.
