Beautiful Northern Ontario Wildlife

One of the things I love about living in Northern Ontario is the abundance of wildlife. On a recent trip to Killarney Provincial park, we recently came face-to-face with some majestic animals and one of the most annoying critters in Northern Ontario.

First up, we got up close and personal with a moose. I was able to get fairly close to him before he made a mad dash towards the deep forest. I was lucky he didn't dash my way, moose are known to 'attack' if you get too close and they can do some serious damage.

Next, up was a black bear but in this case I did not press my luck, and kept my distance. Last thing I needed was to make the headlines: "Idiot man, gets mauled by bear attempting to get a great photo for the steemitphotochallenge". :)

Finally, near our campsite this little critter kept us up most of the night. Raccoons are a significant nuisance in Northern Ontario and can be vicious little things. This little guy seemed harmless enough...that is until we woke up to our garbage (which was hung in the tree...in a bear proof container) was all over our campsite!!! I think its revenge for taking his picture.

If ever you get a chance to visit Northern Ontario, I suggest you do. We have thousands of lakes, yes thousands, and a beautiful ecosystem.
