Encounter with Quebec\u2019s wildlife<\/h1>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Quebec is my \u201chome\u201d at heart, and I\u2019ve been there many times. I\u2019ve been lucky enough to cross paths with many animals. Here\u2019s a little glimpse of the adorable inhabitants (besides the Quebecers \ud83d\ude09) you might encounter if you ever get the chance to explore this beautiful Canadian region. <\/p>\n\n

Beavers<\/h2>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Beavers can be found almost anywhere water flows. They can be observed year-round, but spring and summer offer the best chances to see them active, especially at dusk and during the night. I was lucky enough to watch several of them swimming, feeding, and even slapping the water with their tail, very impressive \ud83d\ude09. I spotted them in several national parks, including Forillon<\/a><\/strong> and La Mauricie<\/a><\/strong>, but it was at Plaisance National Park<\/a><\/strong> where I had the most sightings. <\/p>\n\n

Moose<\/h2>\n\n

The moose is the largest member of the deer family in North America. It is widespread in Quebec\u2019s forests, especially in the north and in more remote wilderness areas. Usually solitary, or sometimes seen in small groups, it is most active at dawn and dusk. I was lucky enough to observe two of them in summer in Gasp\u00e9sie National Park<\/a><\/strong>: a magnificent male, completely unafraid, calmly feeding right beside the trail, and a female peacefully resting nearby. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
