Yup. Pretty sure more kids play street hockey than lacrosse, too. CAR scene in Wayne's World is SOOOO Canadian, with Mike Myers character having so many Toronto suburbs characteristics. Eh.
Lacrosse is the best❤ (street hockey is only played by many because they just play on the road or back alley - the parked cars around here have the dents to prove it) 😛
WooHoo! 100%. I was really surprised so many folks didn’t now what was a caribou, but we usually use Direct Payment or E-transfers, so most of us really don’t touch coins that much.
I watched a street level trivia in America....believe it or not one abject imbecile could not point to Canada on the world map. 😂😂😂 Future republican no doubt.
Ob dear. Caribou and reindeer are the same species. Caribou is the North American name which Reindeer is the European name. Although they have a history of domestication in Europe, the ones here in North America are almost all wild. There are subspecies that have developed, but at the end of the day it is the continent not domestication that dictates what they are called.
Tyler, we invented all the sports you enjoy in the USA. Basketball? Canadian. Football? Canadian. Hockey? Canadian. Lacrosse? Indigenous Canadians. Superman? Your shining hero of all things “American”…. Canadian. 🤣 You’re just southern Canadians in this regard. 🤣❤️
hockey was actually a nordic game, originally, but the very first baseball game in recorded history was played in canada in 1838, in beachville ontario.
Now you know how important those Heritage Minutes are for Canadian History and for Canadians....Thanks for the fun videos....Peace & Respect from Canada
Yes, it's worth paying millions of dollars to Heritage Canada so that people will hang on to these pathetic factoids as a replacement for a true national identity.
Chris Haney (August 9, 1950 - May 31, 2010) was a Canadian journalist and co-creator of the Trivial Pursuit board game with Scott Abbott. @@urbanlegendsandtrivia2023
I had a cynical (excuse me eh, REALISTIC) Ottawa cabby who sighed telling me "There are only really TWO damned seasons up here. Snowploughs and roadwork."
lacrosse has been Canada’s official sport for as long as I have been alive. The government added hockey as Canada’s official winter sport relatively recently- because everyone including canadians already thought it was.
Except lacrosse and hockey were actually both made officially Canada's sports at the same time in 1994. There was never actually a time with only one official sport.
To be fair… Canada releasing a ton of special edition limited time quarters featuring war memorials, olympians, breast cancer awareness, and many many more.
The 1973 Quarter is so cool they had a Mountie on it for the 100 birthday of the RCMP ( I know they wern't called the RCMP in 1873 they were the Northwest Mounted Police then) I was born in 67 so my Grandparents got me a set of the 1967 uncirculated coins and a few of the dollar bills as well for our centennial. All our coins except the penny and the nickel in Canada used to be real silver that is why we old people still call change Silver here in Canada,
@patriciabalzer4114 Limited edition quarters have been done MANY times! There was the Remembrace Day with a red poppy one year. Another set was all provinces and territories... a different one released each month. In our centennial year 1967 it was the Canada lynx!
@@RobertBreedon-c3b I just went to bank to buy some quarters for the laundry room. I bought 4 rolls. 3 of them were full of commemorative quarters. I now have 80 Mountie quarters to add to my collection. Someone must have been hard up & sold their collection to the bank.
I was born in Ottawa, but was raised abroad with English as a Second Language teachers until returning to Ottawa for grade 10 from Jeddah. But I got to do 2 incredible years at Dartington Hall boarding school in Devon, where the 1 day we given off for "snow" the flakes which made it to the ground never met another before melting. Years before internet I just got mocked for all the "fibs" I told; Roit Jenny, so a foot of snow you can still drive with magic tires? And 4 feet of snow covers a whole neighbourhood so some people stay in and create another REFRIGERATOR out of their front door? Bollocks Jenny, who would EVA want ta chill a beer?
We had two seasons where I grew up in Eastern Canada in the '60s; Hockey Season, and Lacrosse Season. When the ice was taken out of the arenas in the spring, we used the concrete floor for Box Lacrosse. It's not like University lacrosse; blood was spilled. Both sports are like a martial art in Canada.
You are not “ The Average American “ anymore! You know more about Canada than most Canadians! You’re like my little nephew! Definitely a Canadian in spirit 😊
Shared American Canadian/British trivia: How did the White House receive it's name? After the Americans burnt fort York on the shores of lake Ontario the British returned the favor and set fire to the Presidential Palace. The Americans could not remove the soot stains from the marble, so they painted it white which led the the present name.
The thing about lacrosse is, we take lots of pride in it as our national sport, but other than once or twice in gym class, most of us never play it. Mainly because, if you think hockey is violent, now have everyone holding the sticks at head height.
There was a commemorative 25cent/ quarter for the RCMP on the back of the country was a Mountie on a Horse ! Do you know what kind of horse it was? Answer-A Quuarter Horse ! 😊
I loved how you were able to link Heritage Minutes to two of the answers. The only one I didn't know was the motto. I've often heard Canada referenced as Sea to Sea to Sea (Atlantic, Arctic and Pacific), but I've never heard Sea to Sea before. Guess I learned something about my country today! So many Canadians answering 'moose' cracked me up! Pretty sure I learned it was a caribou in school as a child. FYI Tyler, the Canadian coins from lowest to highest are: Leaf (they were discontinued a while ago, I think there was more than 1 leaf but can't remember for sure), Beaver, Blue Nose. Caribou, Loon, and Polar Bear.
In the back of my mind I know it is a Caribou, but I tend to forget sometimes and say it is an Elk(Wapiti) . Note to non North Americans what we call an Elk (Cervus canadensis) is similar to the Red Deer in Europe and not the Eurasian Elk (what we call moose)
I still don't get it? I thought those were oceans. We have more gulfs and bays than we do seas. I guess sea to sea would still get you from Labrador to the Yukon.
@@pudlmaker I believe it was adopted from Psalm72:8 "He shall have a dominion also from sea to sea......". But yes technically we are surrounded by 3 oceans....
Lacrosse was a sport the Iroquois nation ( Native North Americans ) played mostly if I remember correctly . So that would include Mohawk , Seneca ,Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga , and Tuscarora. Possibly the Algonquin as well , but I'm not sure . I know the others I mentioned were also known as The Six Nations . They apparently worked together amongst the different bands somewhat like a democratic governed state or nation .
Hey the Crees in Ile-a-la-crosse Sk have a whole island with a long beach where the Dene played lacrosse against the Cree . That's what Ile-a-la-crosse means...island of lacrosse. Games lasted all day and blood and broken bones were to be expected. We don't play anymore though.
The WWll nickels had a beaver and the other a torch with a V for victory. They were also half nickel, half copper and had 16 sides. I believe the beaver came out in 1943 and the V with torch in 1945.
@tyler bucket Penny (now defunct) was a maple leaf, nickle is beaver, dime is bluenose schooner, quarter is caribou, loonie is a loon, toonie is a polar bear. the bill demoninations until recently, were all former prime ministers with exception of the $20 bill (the most common). That is always the current reigning monarch. Some of the bills now display people of notable achievements instead of prime ministers. One other note: not all legal tender coins come with an animal on them. There are some special edition coins that circulate such as upon the Queen's death, the rings around toonies were colored black in rememberance. Other coins have sports depicted on them. One year they distributed coins with a poppy flower on them for Nov 11.
Can you imagine if an American discovered insulin….they wouldn’t have released it free to the world , they would have released it with copyright and money. And the National Sport is Hockey and Lacrosse, it used to be Lacrosse and a lot thought it was Hockey and it wasn’t
Banting was offered a million dollars by American drug companies for the secret, but he turned them down and gave the secret away for free. The Canadian government gave him $8000 to begin production and distribution.
@@ront769 don’t kid yourself , Americans did contribute, but your missing it or your trying to make yourself feel good knowing if a American discovered insulin he would of sold it and not give it away.
I got them all right, but I am of an older generation and have lots of experience. This sure goes to show the importance of education and Heritage Minutes!
Me at 48 my wife at 57 both born and raised here have never heard of Canada having an "offfical motto", but yeah we knew of the term being used in Canada.
A caribou, also known as reindeer in Eurasia, is a large species of deer native to Arctic, subarctic, tundra, boreal, and mountainous regions of North America. For Americans, Bullwinkle is a moose, Rudolf is a caribou.
And because most bull Caribou drop their antlers early, and the cows keep their antlers into the following year, Rudolf and Co. are all female. Which makes sense as only a female (or a team thereof) can haul a fat man in a red velvet suit and his sled around the world in one night and not get lost. (just teasing, Guys! 🙂)
I actually got ALL the answers right - although I will admit that I automatically said "moose" before immediately correcting myself with the caribou. I also knew the Latin motto he was looking for from the words he said - "From Sea to Sea", but at school we were taught the motto was actually "From Sea to SHINING Sea." I remembered these things FROM SCHOOL, NOT from Heritage Minutes. I thought those Heritage Minutes were great to teach the info to kids BEFORE they learn it in school, & as a REMINDER for afterwards, but from what I am seeing in some of these comments, we need to KEEP THOSE HERITAGE MINUTES GOING - & ON REPEAT - as it looks like some Canadians are only learning (somehow) these basic Canadian facts this way. VERY, SAD - but as long as they/all of you are learning - that's the main thing!
I got them all right, as well. But, "From sea to shining sea" is from the song America the Beautiful. There's no "shining" in A mari usque ad mare. Usque means continously, or without interruption, so the motto is from one sea all the way to the other. There was a suggestion at one point to change it to A mari ad mare ad mare to reflect the fact that we border three oceans, but nothing has come from that.
Thank-you for the information - even though it is upsetting. I knew that the answer he was looking for was "From Sea to Sea" based on the Latin he quoted, but as I said, my TEACHER AT SCHOOL told us it was "From Sea to Shining Sea." To hear from you that she was ACTUALLY giving us the words from an AMERICAN song & saying it was part of the CANADIAN motto - is AWFUL! (I feel used & dirty!) I just have to believe that she either just wasn't paying CLOSE attention to what she was telling us OR that she got confused, being aware of both. But to believe in your teachers & take in their teachings - only to find out MANY years later that it was wrong is terrible. Teachers need to do a better job (like the one in this video!) (I wouldn't normally just trust the words of a complete stranger [sorry 😶🌫] over someone I did know - "critical thinking", but I CAN still make out a little Latin & I have seen this phrase before, which I actually wondered a bit over since it was a little different from what my teacher said.) So once again I thank you for clearing up where the "shining" came from even if the answer is certainly disturbing.@@russellsketchley8830
@@Carrie-so3ro I wasn't trying to upset you at all. I guess teachers are as fallible as everyone else. It is an easy mistake to make, especially since we hear all those American songs and slogans all the time.
I know that you weren't trying to upset me. I DO TRULY appreciate the knowledge that you provided me with - (& I can hear those words in the song playing in my head now.) Sometimes the truth is not what we would like it to be, but I prefer NOT to live in a world of make believe so I appreciate KNOWING the most. This WAS however a BIG mistake for a teacher to make. It could be an EASY mistake, as you said we are familiar with the American song, BUT teaching school kids to add a phrase from SOMEONE ELSE's big, nationalistic tune into our motto - making us think those are the words is a pretty terrible mix-up - understandable (ONLY in a way), but a pretty bad mistake to make. (If it had been ANY other song, but one of America's most nationalistic ones...😔) All the best. ♥ @@russellsketchley8830
James Naismith created Basketball while he was a professor in the us. I drive by his homestead in Almonte, Ontario weekly. Insulin, From sea to sea, Caribou on quarter. In 1973 it had a RCMP on a horse.
If I remember the OLD Nation Anthem it had “Sea to Sea” in it, but was changed later. This is why the older Canadian Lady knew what it was because she remembered that old Anthem.
I have from sea to shining sea stuck in my head, but would not have known it was our motto. Lol. Also, I too just assumed it was a moose on our quarter. I have not checked but I think the beaver is on our nickel? If I am right it is probably because I always seem to have more nickels than quarters. Darn. 😂
I actually knew the answer from SCHOOL myself, not from our National Anthem. - although we were taught it was "From Sea to SHINING Sea." - but I knew from the Latin he used that the answer was "From Sea to Sea."
If I'd stopped to think about it, it would have been obvious. "Mari" as in maritime (and I vaguely remember some seafood dishes with names in either Italian or French having mari in the name)
You are SUCH a CUTIE Tyler! - & YOU KNEW MORE than you think! You didn't get 1 right, you got 2 right, (lacrosse & insulin) - & I'm sure you'll do better & better in time. Keep up the good work learning about us & at the same time giving us a bright spot for the day with your nice & sunny personality. (Personality wise, you would actually fit right in to this country - & we would be glad to have you.)
Would he also fit into Norway? UK? Japan? (Tyler Rumple, Tyler Burger, Tyler Walker..) Or any other country he pretends to be interested in to make $$? He is here to earn, not learn! You'll find out as time goes on - it's all an act.
Wow are you ever a negative, critical person! Tyler may (or may not) fit into those other countries. I don't know enough about their personality types to say. I DO know his personality type would fit in here - & he is NOT faking his personality - he wouldn't be able to sustain "the act" for an entire video, each & every time! (THAT wouldn't be one of Tyler's strong points.) This is JUST Tyler's personality! As to your point that he is here to earn not learn - I say 2 things. Firstly - why does it have to be one OR the other? Why can't Tyler be doing both? Doctors, car mechanics, architects, singers, chefs - all make money (some of these make a lot) BUT they chose their jobs vs. others that make money - because they ENJOY that type of work. You CAN make money doing something you like! IT TRULY IS POSSIBLE! Why should Tyler be any different? It is also OBVIOUS - if you pay attention - that Tyler DOES like learning about us - because he could have chosen a different country instead of Canada ie. Ireland, Switzerland, South Africa etc. He chose Canada as 1 of his countries of interest - because he DOES want to learn about us. Also, it is clear that Tyler DOES like to learn. He is not only doing this for money - he is a NATURAL researcher. I have seen other reactors who don't know the answer to (many) things - & they will often (some always) say - to tell them the answer, whereas a good portion of the time Tyler wants to know the answer ON THE SPOT & LOOKS IT UP HIMSELF - mid video. THAT is someone who LIKES TO LEARN! You need to get some generousity back into your soul for people & NOT think the worst of them without just cause. Having a few other reaction channels doesn't make Tyler a faker or uninterested. Instead it shows his interest in learning for his income & Canada & Canadians are one of the things he is interested in. End of story in my opinion. PLEASE, for your OWN sake (because it rots your soul after a while if you think everybody has bad intentions) & for everybody else you are in contact with - give people THE BENEFIT of the doubt - & only when thinking it through that this CANNOT add up or has VERY little chance of doing so upon FULLEST thought, be more careful in your interactions with them. I do truly mean this in the best way. Take care 💝@@nolajoy7759
Good morning, nolajoy. I truly thank-you for your concern towards me & wanting to help me with your warning. I STILL DO stand by my opinion on Tyler & his intentions & I hope you will think what I said through. Is there something that I am missing besides Tyler having other channels? I AM always open to information that helps me in making proper choices & assessments. If not, I think that my points remain valid & I must give Tyler my belief. Even if I can't change your mind & you don't have anything else to add to support your negative impression of Tyler - I thank you for your kindness towards me & not wanting me to get fooled. All the best to you - (from Suzy Sunshine. 🌞☺)@@nolajoy7759
I was today years old when I realized the animal on our Canadian Quarter isn't a Moose! Caribou makes lots of sense, but never crossed my mind that it was that.
@@waterjade4198 You're right. Looking now, of course it's not a moose. The face shape is totally different, not to mention the kind of antlers. Funny how we overlook some things. Hope you're having a great day!
There's a whole song about it, how did everyone get it wrong? 🎶The quarter has a Caribou on it, on it. The quarter has a Caribou, and it's worth 25 cents!🎶
Alan Doyle of Great Big Sea told of the fantastic day his whole band were backstage in the States when an announcement came on out front; Winter Olympics were just starting and "Let's all celebrate! The United States just earned their first Olympics Hockey medal; the SILVER!" And the crowd went wild, while every Canuck backstage exchanged grins, high fives and hugs before heading out, "Yay America eh!?"
Lacrosse is particularly popular in Ontario as it essentially comes out of the First Nations communities that exist along the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Toronto. It is commonly played in arenas over the summer after they've removed the ice. This is called Box Lacrosse as compared to Field Lacross which is played on a pitch the size of a soccer field.
I always thought it was a moose. You forgetting who invented basketball was hard to watch lol. I was pulling for you to reach into your heritage minute knowledge for that one 😂
There was a song about the Canadian quarter called "A quarter has a Caribou on it" on Canadian Sesame Street. The beaver is on the nickel. A quarter has a caribou on it, on it. A quarter has a caribou, that's me. A quarter has a caribou on it, and it's worth 25 cents. A quarter buys... a package of gum. A quarter buys... a newspaper. A quarter buys... a balloon. A quarter buys... a donut with a hole. A quarter has a caribou on, it on it. A quarter has a caribou on it, that's me. A quarter has a caribou on it, and it's worth 25 cents. Oh yeah, it's when 25 cents. Oh yeah that's me
I remember the days before sales tax when I'd walk to the 7-11 with a dollar (bill) and grab a chocolate bar, a bottle of Coke, and two comics to read. Each was a quarter. There were no taxes, and the total was exactly a dollar.
@@CorwinAlexander my family owned a little shop from 1979 to 1998. Things were so cheap back then. We used to get a grab bag full of different candies for 25 cents. A smaller bag of chips for about 30 or 40 cents. A big milk shake for less than a dollar. I watched prices go up as time went on, but nothing like it is now. It's cheaper to buy a big bag of no name potato chips, than it is to buy a "small" bag of lays.
Although typically thought of as American, the origin of the sport of baseball began in the Canadian town of Beachville, Ontario, and American football was initially developed by Canadians at McGill University. The Canadian invented sports, lacrosse, basketball, five-pin bowling, ringette, and wheelchair rugby as well🇨🇦😉
An elks rack is two separate forks with distinctive tines, more like a deer. A moose has two separate forks which form a paddle. A caribou's rack is joined and curves over the middle of it's face.
The beaver is on the reverse side of the nickel. On the front of all Canadian coins and the $20 bill is Queen Elizabeth II, who will presumably be replaced by King Charles III. Her majesty was also on the discontinued $1 and $2 bills.
@@derrickfoster644 As someone who remembers grabbing the new mints when her portrait was last updated, I am with you on this. It's a bit of an adjustment to say Our King instead of Our Queen.
Wasn’t it technically invented by the first nations and was “refined” into hockey after by quebec (and maritime provinces if pineo81 is correct)? I mean it’s the kind of thing that is played and developed over time in many places at the same time so it’s hard to pinpoint an exact place and date..
Side note on identifying the animal on the quarter. I teach it in Kindergarten so these people should know this. I think that part of the problem is many people no longer use actual cash. They use their phones or credit cards.
I learned all these things in grade 10 Canadian history. Indigenous peoples in eastern Canada played lacrosse for years before Europeans arrived. Everyone knows who invented insulin! I think one of the other comments was right on that we enjoy trivia.
I'm a bit older and was stumped on the Canadian motto. I have heard the phrase however. You really do learn something new every day. I always enjoy your videos.
City Follk vs. Country Folk. Many city dwellers, regardless of city, are a little out of touch with their country brethren and their wild lands. Trips to the zoo help, but getting out into the woods helps more. Thankfully, many of our parks have great visitor's centers.
@@richardc8795 I knew what a moose was from the time I was five and had never seen a live one yet. It’s called KINDERGARDEN level picture books. Maybe Torontonians don’t know how to read as well to find out about their own country!
There is a Canadian news satire show called “This Hour has 22 Minutes”. One of the original hosts was Rick Mercer. On that show, Rick used to do a segment called “Talking to Americans”. It was absolutely hilarious. It really highlighted how little Americans know about Canada. Yeah, it was a bit of picking on the ignorance, but you’ve got to look it up. I’m sure the clips were cherry picked, but one of my favourites was that our “national igloo” was melting. A lot of these questions here, we used to have this commercial on our public tv channel(CBC) called “a heritage moment”, so a lot of us in our late 30’s or older know some of these tidbits. The motto is in our national Coat of Arms. Penny was a maple leaf. Nickel is a beaver, dime is the Bluenose(look it up, a national treasure; just a simple fishing boat that became iconic - and one that I have tattooed on my arm), quarter is a caribou, loonie is a loon(hence the name), toonie is a polar bear(name taken from loonie to toonie). Bills change as the reissue occurs; not going to get into that, but we’ve had Borden, Laurier, McDonald, MacKenzie King, QE2, and many others on bills; we had a whole generation of bills with birds, and some bills just had boats. I’m not sure if Americans refer to out money as “funny money”, but is Canadians joke that Americans do. Even if it’s not true that they joke about it, we generally enjoy the joke. Yeah, we look like Monopoly money, but we like it.
The older Canadian $5 bill was "Spocked" a whole lot; I even had one a colleague at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency gave me, so a couple regulars and that one all showed up in my son's Xmas stocking. He has a collection of every penny, most nickels, dimes, quarters, some 50cent coins, loonies and toonies too.
Canadian here, I actually got them all right!!! I had no idea about the motto, but somewhere in the back of my mind said “sea to sea” and that was my guess! Now I couldn’t tell you what that motto means, except, “hey, we’re really big”
Awww man lol Tyler.. you’ve been canadianized… the same reason you knew the answers is the same reason we do… Heritage Minutes played in the show breaks of the best cartoons lol So an entire generation just sat there captive watching them over and over for our formative years 😂😂
Watch all Canadian heritage videos. They were on all Canadian commercial back in the day. That’s why children grew into adults that knew Canadian History.
That teacher was pathetic! There was nothing funny about that. This is who is teaching our kids?! Teachers need to be held to a highier standard considering they keep demanding more compensation and benefits, or loose their jobs! Especially when it comes to educating the next generation on basic Canadian history and fundamentals.
But they are teaching the kids they can be a cat and have a litter box in the classroom or that they can add,or cut off,genitals to be "TRANS" so there's that😂
The vertically flat paddle antler that sticks out forward above the caribou's nose is the distinguishing feature that only a caribou has, that you can see on the coin.
The James Naismith Basket ball was bc the ball was put through an old fashioned apple basket...The lovely stone house still stands near Almonte Ontario.
Canada motto is due to functioning as a land bridge. The cargo from the Far East (China/Japan) came to Vancouver on ships, was then transported by train to Montreal and then by sea to Europe. Before Panama and Suez canal, it was the only viable way. It is still significant, just not as much as before.
When I was a kid in the 80’s we just had lacrosse as the national sport but somewhere along the line we added hockey officially as winter sport for obvious reasons.
Why don't you know any of this from school? Are you not paying attention, or did they not bother to teach these basics of Canadian culture/heritage? The Heritage Minutes should only be a REMINDER - to what you ALREADY know.
No, I'm serious. I have seen some videos of how little Americans know about things even in regards to their own country & I am starting to get worried that it is happening here. I REALLY don't want Canada & Canadians to become ignorant of our own selves & history nor of the world beyond us. HAVING KNOWLEDGE & USING OUR BRAINS is the way a country develops well - does NOT stagnate, is able to deal with a crisis & even be a leader in technology (of all kinds) that can get Canadian companies & its people jobs - to use for ourselves as well as to export our products & services this way. We CAN'T give up paying attention & seeking knowledge in this country & QUESTIONING if someone is telling us something to use to THEIR advantage (even if not the truth & hurtful to us.) We CAN'T be giving up on LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM, NOR can we give up STRONG TEACHING IN THE CLASSROOM. Learning from a TELEVISION AD is GOOD FOR NEWCOMERS, who haven't had the benefit of a Canadian education (to understand more of their new country). It is good FOR LITTLE KIDS - who HAVEN'T HAD that education YET - so it is a primer & it is good AS A REMINDER to the rest of us. OLDER children & teens though SHOULD NOT be getting their education from a TV ad though! This FRIGHTENS ME if this is the way we are going as a country! @@billfarley9167
Canada actually has 3 oceans Pacific Atlantic and the arctic ocean. So it should be sea to sea to sea. Canada, renowned for its exceptional educational system, stands as the second most educated country globally, with a tertiary education attainment rate of 66.36%. The country’s commitment to accessible and high-quality I would never have guessed south Korea was number 1.
These are fun, thanks for them. Fun fact: the $2 coin has the queen on one side (as with all Canadian coins) and a polar bear on the other. When it was introduced in 1996, before everyone settled on calling it a "toonie", one of the proposed nicknames was "the queen with a bear behind"!
Lacrosse isn’t really that big in Canada, but they try to push it because it’s so similar to hockey and they try to claim it was started here with links to Native Canadian/American culture.
As a Canadian... I learn a lot watching you learn about us... and it is refreshing to see someone so facinated with us... but for disclosure... I am half American. :)
Tyler Reindeer and Caribou are exactly the same animal/species, and are a member of the deer family. In Europe, and Asia they are called Reindeer. In North America, they are called Caribou if they are wild and Reindeer if they are domesticated. Like for pulling Santa's 🎅 Sleigh 😅 Caribou/Reindeer are the only members of the deer family in which (both) males and females grow antlers.
There's Barrenland and Woodland caribou. But does anyone know the specific name of the caribou who reside in the high Eastern Arctic? They're called Perryland. Much smaller due to the scarcity of food. About the size of a large goat.
We told you those minutes were useful. Insulin was also in the Greatest Canadian contest - the advocate was Mary Walsh. The beaver is on the nickel. The caribou is on the quarter. Thought it was a moose.
A Mari Usque Ad Mare - From sea to sea Coins: $2 - Polar Bear $1 - Loon .25 - Caribou (And NO, it does not look like a moose. The Antlers are wrong) .10 - The Bluenose .05 - Beaver .01 - maple leaf
This is embarrassing. We even had that little cartoon in between Sesame Street segments. “A quarter has a cariboo on it on it, a quarter has a cariboo…THAT’S ME!”
