American Eel

The American eel (Anguilla rostrata) is an elongated fish with a round body and long dorsal fin. It is one of about 35 eel species found in Canadian waters and the only freshwater eel species found in North America. In Canada, the American eel is treasured and valued as food by many Indigenous peoples, including the Mi’kmaq, Innu, Abenaki, Haudenosaunee and Cree. Common names for the American eel include Atlantic eel, common eel and freshwater eel. Indigenous peoples in Canada have their own names for eel. For example, the Mi’kmaq call the eel katew (singular) and kataq (plural) while the Cree refer to it as kinebikoinkosew. Eels are fished recreationally and commercially in Canada.

Amphibians in Canada

Amphibians are members of a group of tetrapod (four-legged) vertebrate animals derived from fishes and are the common ancestor to mammals and reptiles. Amphibians are characterized by their lack of extraembryonic membranes in their eggs. Amphibians are represented by three living groups: Anura (frogs), Caudata (salamanders) and Gymnophiona (caecilians, tropical, none in Canada).

Ankylosaurus

Ankylosaurus is a genus of large, armoured dinosaur. It was one of the last non-avian dinosaurs, having lived at the same time as Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops and Edmontosaurus annectens at the very end of the Age of Dinosaurs, between 68 and 66 million years ago. Ankylosaurus lived in the northwestern interior of North America, from southcentral Alberta and southern Saskatchewan in the north to Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming in the south. It was the largest representative of a group of herbivorous, armoured dinosaurs called “ankylosaurs," including relatives like Borealopelta, Edmontonia and Euoplocephalus. No complete skeleton of Ankylosaurus has ever been found, but two skulls, ribs, vertebrae, limb bones, armour and one tail club have been discovered.

Aphid

Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that suck plant sap. They belong to the order Hemiptera and the suborder Sternorrhyncha (along with whiteflies, scale insects and jumping plant lice). Aphids belong to the family Aphididae, although many species in the families Adelgidae and Phylloxeridae are also commonly called aphids. Over 5,000 species are known worldwide, over 800 of which are found in Canada. Aphids originated at least 250 million years ago, but most of their present diversity arose in the last 66 million years alongside flowering plants. Their great success as a group has made them familiar and prolific pests of gardens and agricultural crops.
