Greetings from Pacific Rim National Park, in beautiful British Columbia. It’s time to dive in and hop into Emma’s kayak as she explores the epic wildlife on these rugged shores.
Tune in to join the adventure!

In today’s episode, Emma explores a particular park on the west coast of Canada: Pacific Rim!

Pacific Rim National Park is known for its interesting biodiversity. In one part you can find yourself in a lush rainforest, and another, you can go swimming along its beautiful beaches! The forest and waters of this park shelter many different animals, from black bears, wolves, and otters to seals, whales, and various marine birds.

The diversity of Pacific Rim National Park means there is a ton to do and a lot to see! People can come here to enjoy camping, hiking, surfing, kayaking, and so much more! The park’s stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife make it a paradise for photographers looking to capture the beauty of nature. You can spend time birdwatching, or go on whale-watching tours. Organized boat tours can take you to areas specially designed for safe wildlife viewing. Some tours might even have hydrophones to listen to the whales’ underwater vocalizations! How cool is that?!

One animal you can find on these whale-watching tours is the grey whale. Grey whales are large –about 50 feet long and weigh nearly 90,000 pounds! Despite their size, they enjoy living in relatively shallow waters. Each year, these whales will swim from the Arctic waters down the Pacific coast, past Vancouver Island, to California, making one of the longest migrations of any mammal! An interesting fact about grey whales is that they don’t sing like many other whales. They communicate with grunts, ‘knocks,’ and croaks.

Emma’s time at the park was interrupted by an old friend – Adelia Goodwin! Adelia wants Emma to go to Wapusk National Park next. There she is to find someone called “Nellie Peters”. What does Nellie Peters have for Emma? Why is Adelia calling Emma up so suddenly?
All of this sounds very strange…

What do you think of the Pacific Rim National Park? What awaits her in Wapusk National Park? Shouldn’t Emma be resting?
