You don't have to be a fan of classical music to appreciate this wonderful celebration of Nordic nature, set to Jean Sibelius's dramatic tone poem Finlandia, Op. 26. To me, a Canadian, Finland's wilderness of spruces, pines, rocks and lakes, looks very much like home. In fact, all of the animals featured in this video, aside from the Siberian Flying Squirrel (Pteromys volans), are shared between Finland and Canada: Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos), Caribou (Rangifer tarandus), Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula), Red-throated Loon (Gavia stellata), Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) and Common Raven (Corvus corax).
