Hey there I have just got back to the hotel from a fun day in Montreal. First we started off doing to Mount Royal we hiked up to the summit, it took almost half the day but it was worth it for the fantastic view and all the nature that we saw on the way up it was really fun. Then after the hike we went the to Montreal biome the hade5 ecosystems tropical forest, Laurentian forest, St. Lawrence marine, Arctic and Antarctic. First we started off with the tropical forest witch was very large, it was very hot and humid though. It had things like monkeys and parrots and other tropical birds; there was also lots of tropical plant life. The Second one we went to was the Laurentian forest it was a little cooler weather they had animals like beavers, porcupine, otters, frogs, lynx’s, birds and ducks this was more like around southern Canada. Then we went to the St. Lawrence marine which was also cooler in there it wad birds and things like cod Salmon, sturgeon and sea anatomy.
