It also lives in caves and snow.There were only a few encounters reported in the 1800 such as when explorer B.H. Hodgson’s guides reported a tall hairy creature.

How is the arctic important to Canada and what does this entail? The north contains multiple resources that are only continuing to grow with the melting of the northwest passage.
