If you made a resolution for 2018, chances are it was to bring more positivity to your life. We get it, and that\u2019s why we wanted to kick off the year with this list of the cutest native Canadian animals. You could just scroll through looking at all the adorable faces, but why not go see them in person? Everyone loves cute animals, and we\u2019ve got some of the world\u2019s cutest creatures right here in Canada. Your reward for making the trek? You just might see these lovable critters up close. #WorthIt.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>1. Pine marten<\/h3>\n<h4><em>Wasagaming, MB <\/em><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Resize-Body-01-Collage-Pine-Marten.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13395\" src=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Resize-Body-01-Collage-Pine-Marten.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nLook at that face! The pine marten is found all over Canada, but getting a glimpse of these shy guys might be a challenge. <strong>Riding Mountain National Park<\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.ca\/Wasagaming-Hotels.d181809.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wasagaming, Manitoba<\/a>, is a good bet, thanks to its reintroduction program. There were 102 pine marten sightings in 2017\u2014not bad, considering this critter isn\u2019t exactly an extrovert. The Clear Lakes Region has much to offer outside of pine martens, though. Take a sunset cruise from <strong>Clear Lake Marina<\/strong>, then dine on wood-fired pizza at the <strong>Foxtail Caf\u00e9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Collared pika<\/h3>\n<h4><em>Fort Simpson, NT <\/em><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Resize-Body-02-Collage-Collared-Pika.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13398\" src=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Resize-Body-02-Collage-Collared-Pika.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nHe might look like a mouse, but the collared pika is no nuisance. In fact, he probably doesn\u2019t even live near you; they prefer remote, high-altitude locations, thank you very much. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.ca\/Nahanni-National-Park-Reserve-Northwest-Territories.d6089481.Vacation-Attraction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Nahanni National Park Reserve<\/strong><\/a> near Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories is the perfect spot. It\u2019s a rugged, mountainous place, but the diminutive pika doesn\u2019t mind\u2014he thrives here. You, however, will need to fly in, so hook up with <strong>Simpson Air<\/strong> from Fort Simpson for a day tour or a multi-day adventure in search of your new friends.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. Arctic hare<\/h3>\n<h4><em>Baffin Island, NU<\/em><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Resize-Body-03-Collage-Arctic-Hare.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13409\" src=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Resize-Body-03-Collage-Arctic-Hare.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nTo see this little ball of fluff, you\u2019ve got some travelling to do\u2014it\u2019s called the Arctic hare for a reason. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.ca\/Nunavut.d6025605.Destination-Travel-Guides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Baffin Island<\/a>, Nunavut, is about as arctic as it gets, and when you\u2019re travelling this far north, you\u2019ll want to enlist the experts. Leave the legwork to <strong>Exodus Travels<\/strong>, so you can keep your eyes peeled for adorable animals. There\u2019s loads of wildlife here, from polar bears to arctic foxes to lemmings. You could say it\u2019s the Canadian capital of cute! You may need to warm up a bit after acting like an Arctic explorer; luckily, <strong>Grind &amp; Brew Caf\u00e9<\/strong> in Iqaluit has plenty of hot coffee and food.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4. Swift fox<\/h3>\n<h4><em>Cochrane, AB <\/em><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Resize-Body-07-Collage-Swift-Fox.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13399\" src=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Resize-Body-07-Collage-Swift-Fox.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAfter the hare, comes the fox! The swift fox is about the size of a house cat and much, much cuter. Unfortunately, she\u2019s also endangered, but reintroduction programs are on the rise and seeing success. The <strong>Cochrane Research Institute<\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.ca\/Cochrane-Hotels.d56428.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cochrane, Alberta<\/a>, is one organization working to help them. You may have to apply to be a volunteer to meet one of these charming canids, but we\u2019d say it\u2019s worth it. If you just pay a visit, be sure to head to <strong>Ducks on the Roof<\/strong> afterwards and end a great day with triple-decker sandwiches and beer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Beluga whale <\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><em>Somerset Island, NU <\/em><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Resize-Body-09-Collage-Beluga-Whale.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13400\" src=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Resize-Body-09-Collage-Beluga-Whale.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBaffin Island is pretty far north, but not as far as Somerset Island, Nunavut. Located 800 km north of the Arctic Circle, this outpost is so far north, it only has one lodge\u2014but it\u2019s a great spot for watching smiley-faced beluga whales in their natural habitat. <strong>Expedition Trips<\/strong> can help you get there with one of its packages leaving from Yellowknife. For beluga whale watching closer to civilization, head to Tadoussac, Quebec, and book a boat tour with <strong>Croisieres AML<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>6. Black-tailed prairie dog<\/h3>\n<h4><em>Val Marie, SK <\/em><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Resize-Body-05-Collage-Black-Tailed-Prairie-Dog.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13401\" src=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Resize-Body-05-Collage-Black-Tailed-Prairie-Dog.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWith their adorable fatness and excited little personalities, what\u2019s not to love about the black-tailed prairie dog? They\u2019re also one of the easiest animals to see: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.ca\/Grasslands-National-Park-Hotels.d6089566.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Grasslands National Park<\/strong><\/a> has a \u201cDog Town\u201d you can simply hike to. Val Marie, Saskatchewan, is the gateway to the park and has everything you need to fall in love with the prairies. Before you hit the park, chow down a burger or Caesar salad at <strong>Harvest Moon Caf\u00e9<\/strong>, and you\u2019ll be ready for exploring.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>7.

Sure, the Canadian lynx is a stealthy, lethal hunter\u2014but she\u2019s so fluffy! This feisty feline makes her home throughout Canada, but she is quite elusive. You should head to <strong>Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary<\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.ca\/Rosseau-Hotels.d6289246.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rosseau, Ontario<\/a>, for a guaranteed sighting.

The best place is in Whiteshell, Manitoba, as you paddle the Caddy Lake Rock Tunnels in <strong>Whiteshell Provincial Park<\/strong>. Rent a canoe from <strong>GBR Marina Rentals<\/strong> on the south shore of Caddy Lake, just a mile and a half from the first tunnel. Make it a day trip or camp at the lakeside sites and do the entire 170-km trip. You\u2019ll feel just like the tunnelling river otter\u2014and hopefully see some, too!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>11.
