After spending over a week canoeing and camping in Temagami, Ontario, on July 14, 2012 we arrived in Toronto at about 7:00 pm; as always, Catherine moved her van from her driveway as I was going to park there. As I was very slowly backing up into her driveway, I suddenly felt that one of my tires ran into something in the driveway and I was unable to continue. I got out of the car and saw a big, dead raccoon lying next to the rear car’s wheel. Initially, I thought that perhaps the raccoon was simply hiding under Catherine’s van, seeking shade, and as Catherine was moving the van, she inadvertently ran over it. But once we closely examined the hapless creature, we immediately discovered the cause of its untimely demise: apparently, it had found a big empty peanut butter jar, which had some traces of peanut butter inside, so the raccoon obviously attempted to get whatever was left inside the jar by inserting its mouth inside the jar, which got stuck… unable to remove it, the raccoon simply suffocated! Catherine’s father was not aware of this incident, but said that indeed, Gabby the dog was somehow attracted to something on the other side of the parked van! Catherine called the City of Toronto and the raccoon was removed overnight.
The second photograph is the same, but much bigger.
Actually a Great Egret x Great Blue Heron hybrid but a curator needs to add. Or is it? Someone argues its a Reddish Egret x Great Egret and I have to say I kinda agree.
