Montreal Biodome

Montreal ( Montréal )

The Montreal Biodome is a facility located in Montreal that allows visitors to walk through replicas of four ecosystems found in the Americas.

The facility allows visitors to walk through replicas of four ecosystems found in the Americas:

- The Tropical Forest is a replica of the South American rainforest.
- The Laurentian Forest is a replica of the North American wilderness.
- The Saint Lawrence Marine Eco-system is an estuary habitat modelled on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
- A polar area that is divided into Arctic and Antarctic.

A variety of animals live in each simulated habitat, ranging from the macaws in the Tropical Forest, to the lynx in the Laurentian Forest, to the penguins in the Antarctic and the different kinds of fish that inhabit the waters of the Saint Lawrence River. As well, two new species have been discovered living in the Biodome: the acarian Copidognathus biodomus in the simulated estuary, and the bacterium Nitratireductor aquibiodomus in the water reprocessing system. Live collections with more than 4,800 animals of 230 species and 750 plants species.

The Biodôme’s ecosystems have been put together in such a fashion so that they may be visited independently: interpretation panels are found all along the trail and guides are available to answer visitors’ questions.
