The grizzly bear
is any North American subspecies of the brown
bear, including the mainland grizzly, the Kodiak bear, the peninsular grizzly (U. a. gyas) and the recently extinct California
grizzly and Mexican grizzly bear.
Specialists sometimes call the grizzly the North American brown bear because the grizzly and the brown bear
are one species on two continents. Source

The red fox is
the largest of the true foxes and the most abundant member of the Carnivora,
being distributed across the entire Northern Hemisphere from the Arctic Circle
to North Africa, Central America and Asia. The red fox originated from
smaller-sized ancestors from asia during the Middle Villafranchian period, and colonised North America shortly after the Wisconsin
glaciation. Among the true foxes. Source

The reindeer, also known as caribou in North America, is a
species of deer native to Arctic, Subarctic, tundra, boreal and mountainous
regions. This includes both sedentary and migratory populations. While overall
widespread and numerous, some of its subspecies are rare and at least
one has already gone extinct. Reindeer
vary considerably in colour and size. In most populations, both sexes grow antlers
annually, but females lack antlers in a few. Antlers are typically larger in
males. Source

The gray wolf also known as the
timber wolf, true
wolf or western wolf is a canid native to the wilderness and remote
areas of North America, Eurasia, and North Africa. It is the largest extant
member of its family, with males averaging 43–45 kg, and females 36–38.5 km. Like the red wolf, it is distinguished from other Canis species by its larger size and
less pointed features, particularly on the ears and muzzle. Source

Bears are mammals
of the family Ursidae. Bears are
classified as caniforms, or doglike carnivorans, with the pinnipeds being their
closest living relatives. Although only eight species of bears are extant, they
are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats throughout the Northern
Hemisphere and partially in the Southern Hemisphere. Bears are found on the continents
of North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Source

The common redpoll
is a species in the finch family. It
breeds somewhat further south than the Arctic redpoll, also in habitats with
thickets or shrubs. Nominate C. f.
flammea breeds across the northern
parts of North America and Eurasia. There is also an Icelandic subspecies, Icelandic redpoll, and one that breeds
in Greenland and Baffin Island called the Greenland redpoll. Source
