Mystery Animal...what do you think it is?

[Catherine]

Even with the distorted image it could still be either a mink or a fisher.  Common sense says it is a mink. The optimist in me says it could be a fisher. All these animal sightings are a sign that the city is cleaning up the mess made of the environment by previous generations. When I moved to Toronto the Don River was dirty and full of garbage. The wetlands near the lake were gone. Now the river valley is a beautiful natural area and the wetlands are returning.








It really is right in the city and major highways cross the valley by bridge. There is a major roadway that runs down one side of the valley, but the valley has returned to nature. This allows wildlife to live in our neighbourhoods. 
For a big city we are fairly green.
