This is a list of the mammal species recorded in Canada.There are approximately 200 mammal species in Canada. [1] Its large territorial size consist of fifteen terrestrial and five marine ecozones, ranging from oceanic coasts, to mountains to plains to urban housing, mean that Canada can harbour a great variety of species, including nearly half of the known cetaceans.

Plantigrade foot occurs normally in humans in static postures of standing and sitting. It should also occur normally in gait (walking). Hypertonicity , spasticity , clonus , limited range of motion, abnormal flexion neural pattern, and a plantar flexor (calf) muscle contracture, as well as some forms of footwear such as high heeled shoes may ...
Specimens of Torvosaurus gurneyi were measured up to 10 meters (33 ft) in length and 4–5 metric tons (4.4–5.5 short tons) in body mass, [2] suggesting that it was much larger than T. tanneri and was the largest terrestrial carnivore in Europe during the Late Jurassic.
Except for an extraordinarily large specimen of A. angustidens, the largest specimens of A. simus and A. angustidens are said to be comparable to one another, [11] [12] and match the absolute upper size limit (~1000kg) of a terrestrial carnivore (based on the more restrictive energy base for a carnivorous diet). [13] [14] [15]
Prestosuchidae (in its widest usage) is a polyphyletic grouping of carnivorous archosaurs that lived during the Triassic.They were large active terrestrial apex predators, ranging from around 2.5 to 7 metres (8.2 to 23.0 ft) in length.

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] The biology survey of Canada cites that there are approximately 55,000 species of insects and 11,000 species of mites and spiders.
Amphicyoninae is a subfamily of extinct amphicyonids, large terrestrial carnivores sometimes called "bear-dogs", belonging to the suborder Caniformia, which inhabited North America, Eurasia, and Africa from the middle Eocene to the late Miocene. Amphicyoninae was first named by Trouessart (1885).
