All Creatures Great and Small

SIX

The number 6 position on my Countdown goes to “Canadian Wildlife”

It is always great to see an animal in it’s natural habitat for the first time. Although to most people here they are just pests or rodents, Canadian animals have provided a great deal of excitement and interest for me. My favorites are squirrels and chipmunks! You can find squirrels pretty much everywhere... in parks, running across the road, in your yard, even in downtown Toronto. They can be black, grey or a reddish brown. I like the grey and red ones the best! Chipmunks are probably cuter but you don’t see as many of them... sneaky little rascals!

This is a list of Canadian animals I have seen in the wild.

Squirrel, Chipmunk, Skunk, Otter, Deer

Canada Goose, Loon, Hummingbird, Woodpecker

Blue Heron, Blue jay, Beaver (dead), Eagle

Bass, Carp, Sunfish, Chickadee, Sparrow

Frog, Rabbit, Porcupine, Raccoon, Groundhog

Garter Snake, Trumpeter Swan

Those little Chipmonks sure look cute but you would need a lot to make a decent stew or pie dont you think?
