Ontario is the second largest province after Quebec in Canada. It covers the part of the Canadian mainland between Hudson and James Bays in the north and the St Lawrence River and Great Lakes in the south. More than half of Ontario's land area is made up of the sparsely populated Canadian Shield, which dominates the northwest and central parts of the province. The area is rich in minerals, covered in part by the forests of the Mid- and Midwestern Canadian Shield, and dotted with lakes and rivers. One of the country's best-known attractions is Niagara Falls, which is a group of three waterfalls located at the southern end of the Niagara Gorge. The flora of northern Ontario is classified as boreal forest, and contains black and white spruce, jack pine, tamarack, poplar, white birch and balsam. A tundra strip runs along the northern border of the province, along Hudson Bay. The natural vegetation of southern Ontario was originally hardwood forests, with large stands of white and red pines on lighter soils, but development and logging in the 19th century removed much of the original forest cover. The wildlife is extremely rich, with species such as Moose, Woodland Caribou, Black Bear, Polar Bear, deer and wolf, as well as a variety of small mammals including porcupines, skunks, muskrats, rabbits, beavers, otters and foxes. Birds include ducks, geese, grouse, hawks, owls and finches.
