That was a big one. I got splashed good in that one. Better turn the nose into the ways

before I capsize or drop my mic in the ocean. That's better. Now welcome back to Emma's

Ultimate Guide to National Parks. Today, the Pacific Rim National Park in British Columbia

like hop in. We've got a lot to explore.

As you might have guessed from the background noise, I went to Kayak and I'm paddling around

a really interesting part of the park. The Broken Group Islands. There are around 100

islands in this group. And the scenery out here on the Pacific Shore is absolutely stunning.

It's nice to be on the water today, but yesterday, my day was even wilder. I hyped through

a rainforest. Can you believe that? When we think of rainforests, usually think of the

tropics or maybe the world's biggest rainforest. The Amazon and South America? But here in British

Columbia, there's a temperate rainforest that's every bit of stunning and ecologically important.

It's called a temperate rainforest because of where we're located in the world, between the

polar regions and the tropics. If a rainforest is close to the equator, like the Amazon, it's tropical.

The rainforest here in Pacific Rim has all of the right ingredients that make a rainforest. A lot

of precipitation, 120 inches of rain a year on average, and lots of trees, as well as other

living things like flowers, grasses, shrubs, and mosses. The animals that live in a temperate

rainforest, they're a little bit different than those that live in a tropical rainforest.

Up here, you see animals like bears, wolves, and deer. In the Amazon, you're more likely to see

jaguars and monkeys. However, in both types of rainforests, you're sure to see lots of birds.

Just yesterday, I saw several bald eagles, and a couple of ravens, and even a sandhill crane.

But the forest isn't the only place you'll find animals here at Pacific Rim National Park.

You'll also find lots of wildlife in the water. From seals to whales, there's no shortage of wildlife
