Our urban moose paper in Saskatoon led by PhD student Katie Harris was published today. Super interesting to see moose established in city in an ocean of agriculture. This is the latest part in our work on farmland moose.
The work was inspired by a moose in a classroom in 2021.

Do you feel 'cool' from just seeing the snow?? This red fox was caught posing for the camera one early spring morning 🦊
Did you know that red foxes are excellent athletes? They can run up to 50 km/h and can jump over fences that are 6 feet high! Their athletic ability and clever behavior make them well suited for survival in urban settings.

Can you tell the difference between a snowshoe hare and a white-tailed jackrabbit? 🐇
Although they are very similar, snowshoe hares can be distinguished from the white-tailed jackrabbit by their smaller size, smaller ears, and larger, furry feet which help them move over the snow throughout the winter. Snowshoe hares are mostly found in mixed woodland and swampy areas.
The snowshoe hare in this photo is just starting to change into its summer coat!
