Watch Out for Moose!

Each corner of Cape Breton Island has things about it that are special and interesting. One interesting thing about living in the Cape Breton Highlands is the number of moose in the area.

The Cape Breton Highlands National Park is home to hundreds of these majestic animals. Seeing one for the first time is a thrill you won’t forget. Not very long ago, however, there were no moose there.

There were many moose on Cape Breton Island hundreds of years ago. By the early 1900s they were extinct here because of overhunting and natural reasons.
