There
are many known creatures in Ontario, all amazing in their own way. Many known
and perhaps some unknown. Have you ever wondered about the struggles the
species face each day, the incredible dodge the ant made when you almost
stepped on it on your way out. The
raccoon living in your neighbor’s backyard, how long must it have been hiding
behind the cans in hopes of not being seen by unexpected visitors. Have you ever wondered if any of the animals close to extinction live
near you? Do you have any part in their struggle for survival?

Speaking of animals
close to extinction, your neighbor’s cat has been trying to catch a
bird that has recently arrived in your neighborhood. No one has ever seen this one before in this
particular area. An Acadian flycatcher was its last target, however lately you
haven’t seen very many of them. It
becomes questionable as to why
animals are endangered.
Unsuccessfully the cat had been trying to eat the pretty new song bird
for over a month. After having done some
research, you discover that its known as the Canadian Warbler, its home used to
be in the forest where the new mall is.
Many other birds had been driven homeless as well including Acadian
flycatchers after the majority of your community had ignored the petition ran
by the local school in greed of having a new mall in the area which would
increase business in the area
How are you doing your part to help animals close to extinction?
that's a yellow warbler
