Vor kurzem hat die NASA sogar ein kleines Stück des roten Planeten nach Manitobas Provinzhauptstadt Winnipeg benannt. Aber bei aller intergalaktischen Wertschätzung ist Manitoba vor allem eines: Ein ziemlich schöner Ort hier auf Erden, der einen wunderbaren Beitrag zu den Wundern der Tierwelt, faszinierenden Outdoor-Phänomenen oder erstklassigen Festivals leistet. Hier sind lustige Fakten und Aspekte der Superlative aus Manitoba, die so manchen überraschen dürften… Wunder der Tierwelt In Manitoba befindet sich die weltweit größte Paarungshöhle der Welt – und zwar für die Rotseiten-Strumpfbandnatter. Zu tausenden kommen die Schlangen jedes Jahr Anfang Mai in die Narcisse Snake Dens nördlich der Kleinstadt Narcisse, um sich hier unters Schlangenvolk zu mischen und sich zu paaren. Sich windende Schlangenbündel sorgen für einen fantastischen Anblick! In der Hudson Bay leben im Sommer bis zu 50.000 Belugawale, 5.000 von ihnen besuchen in den Monaten Juli und August die Gegend rund um Churchill. Im Kajak können Besucher den Walen ganz nahe kommen! Im Wapusk National Park im Norden Manitobas befinden sich die weltweit meisten Geburtshöhlen von Eisbären. In Manitoba gibt es über 100.000 Seen und Wasserwege – der perfekte Köder für Angler, die einmal die größten Fische des Kontinents an ihrem Haken zappeln sehen möchten. Abenteuer in der Natur Manitobas Little Limestone Lake gilt als einer der größten Kreide-Seen der Welt. Hier weht ein Hauch Karibik, wenn sich die Farbe des Sees mit der wärmer werdenden Temperatur in ein tiefes Türkis verwandelt.
