It’s hard to say what’s more breathtaking – the wildlife of Newfoundland and Labrador or its natural habitat. They are both, without a doubt, spectacular and humbling. You’ll find plenty of species, in plenty of places, no matter where you find yourself. All within reach.
Jagged rock walls that soar 5,000 feet out of the North Atlantic. 29,000 kilometres of coastline with towns and villages nestled in and around hundreds of coves, guts, bays, and tickles. Soaring mountains that were once far beneath the ocean floor. Mysterious bogs blooming with pitcher plants or orange with bakeapple, also known as cloudberry. It’s here where you’ll find the unexpected, the unspoiled, and the unforgettable.
There’s no question about it: you will never have to go looking for wildlife around Newfoundland and Labrador. It’s home to 22 species of whales, porpoises and dolphins, including 10,000 humpbacks that breach within easy view from our coastline, 35 million seabirds all fighting for your attention, and thousand-pound moose that casually graze by roadsides and barrens.
There are six botanical gardens, which boast a rich and rare variety of arctic and alpine plants. Go back to university at Memorial, home to North America’s most eastern botanical garden, and study 110 acres of specialized species, a premier rock garden, and a nature reserve.
