Oh, a Marmot!
Big fat ground squirrel.
Out west of Calgary AB, in mountains, watch out for larger Hoary Marmot.
Yes, there may still be a few strips there despite Parks Canada objections but not controlled. PC even tried to close the one right beside TCH, as if animals accustomed to seeing various automotive things speed by would be ecologically affected by the occasional small airplane.
Keith being silly on Christmas Day.
Yes, there is at least one other Calgary town in the world - in Scotland.

In Puerto Rico (BQN) on the NW tip of the island we had to watch out for Iguana’s crossing the runway.
I’m told they taste like chicken.
Good old Marmota monax - one of my least favorite critters, and impossible to eliminate. Having a farm, they are NOT your friend. But I’ll hand it to them - they are industrious creatures - they can bore your fields full of holes (and devour crops encircling their burrow) in nothing flat!
