In the late 1600s and early 1700s, beaver pelts were in high demand amongst fur traders. They generated so much profit that the beaver was eventually considered a national symbol. Although it was widely appreciated and loved, the beaver was near extinction by the mid 1900s due to the high demand for its fur. The beaver became an official emblem of Canada in March of 1975.
The two most common types of deer in Canada are the white-tailed and the mule deer. The white-tailed deer live primarily across southern Canada. They are very secretive and are able to live in human populated areas. Mule deer make their homes in the mountains and foothills in the western part of the country. Moose and caribou are also commonly found in Canada.
