Canada is located in North America, north of the United States. It is well-known for maple syrup, Niagara Falls, and hockey. The beaver is the national animal.

The word "Canada" comes from the Iroquois Native American language. It means "settlement" or "village."

Canada is also home to amazing wildlife, including polar bears, seals, wolves, bears, and mountain lions. Whale-watching is popular on the coast.
