Fisher (Martes pennanti)

One of the fastest tree-climbing mammals in the world !!!
The fisher frequently attack the porcupine, an animal most other
predators avoid.

Ermine (Mustela erminea)

The ermine's speed and agility make it a difficult prey to catch, and the strong-smelling musk secreted by glands under its tail is enough to discourage all but the most determined predator.

Twelve-spotted skimmer (Libellula pulchella)

This dragonfly is easily recognized by the 12 black wing spots interpersed with white spots. It is a large species, at 2 inches long (5 cm).

Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina)

This is one of the largest freshwater turtle in Canada. This turtle can live up to 40 years.
The top surface of the tail has a series of large, triangular plates, giving the snapping turtle an appearance like some of the great dinosaurs.
They have long necks, powerful jaws and can give profound bites.

Marsh Wren (Cistothorus palustris)

During the mating season, the male builds 5 to 6 unfinished nests constituted of grasses, cattails, and sedges woven together with an entrance at the side. The female selects one nest and adds a lining to it
or simply built another one.

Baby Woodchuck

By the time their eyes open, the baby woodchuck can crawl around by themselves and emerge from the burrow. The growth is so fast as they
weigh 2 pounds at eight weeks. The young feed on all types of vegetation.
