What biome is kamloops?

Answer 1

Kamloops is home to several types of biomes, including forested areas, wetland, lush grasslands, and semi-arid desert which is home to many large and small wild animals.

Mule and white-tailed deer are commonly seen in the surrounding hills, predominately in the early morning hours. Cougars, bobcats, red foxes, black and brown bears are much shyer, but are still common on wilderness trails and open grasslands.

Viewing is best in the spring and fall seasons when there is a bounty of fresh natural foods and it is time to nurture the young. Big-horn mountain sheep are very common along the major highways that intersect Kamloops.

Western Rattlesnakes are common on the hot, dry south-facing slopes, while Garter, Rubber Boa, Gopher, and the Yellow-bellied Racer snakes can all be found in most other landscape regions.

Rodents can readily be discovered, including voles, shrews, flying squirrels, and eleven types of bats. Beaver families and their unique houses are also commonly viewed along the more heavily vegetated banks of the Thompson River. Painted turtles are often found sunning themselves on logs and sun-exposed back roads which run along smaller water bodies.
