Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park Zoo is a great place to see some of Manitoba's native fauna. NatureNorth is happy to cooperate with the Zoo to help bring you this information about Manitoba critters at the Zoo.

Click on the pictures or links below to download PDF versions of the interpretive signs found throughout the Zoo. There's lots of great information in them. Enjoy them online or print them out and cover your wall with Manitoba's cool critters!

You can find these and other Zoo interpretive signs
at the Zoo's website: Animal Look Up Page.

You'll need Adobe's free Acrobat Reader to view the interpretive signs.




 

 

Manitoba Wildlife at the Zoo!

Nearly all of these native North American animals can still be found in the wild in Manitoba. Sadly, some of them, like the burrowing owl, are very rare and some, like pronghorns, no longer occur here.
