never seen one before. I wonder if they are seen by locals very much or if they are the type of animal to hide away,and only seen occasionally.

funny all the different varieties of animals in different parts of the world.

you know we have tourist here when they are getting excited about seeing a squirrel,racoon etc . LOL

Chipmunks, gophers, elks and skunks did it for me when I visited Canada.

I never seen bears, or cougars, or chipmunks. First and only time I saw a skunk was earlier this year when I had to catch a bus at 4:20am. My sister saw a skunk last night when she was coming home. I saw a polar bear and penguins at Stanley Park when I was very little. Few days later the polar bear died. It wasn't moving when I was there.

That's no way to treat a polar bear. Where I live seeing polar bears is a common everyday occurance and I don't have to go to a prison, err, zoo to see 'em.

Do you live near Churchill, MB or some equally remote place?

I think that if zoos get their animals by taking in animals that have been injured or are unable to survive in the wild, they serve a useful purpose. 

I love going to zoos and not being much of a traveller, it's the only way I'd ever see most of the animals that are there.  Most zoos are very conservation-oriented now as well and do a great job teaching the public about disappearing habitat, the effect of environmental change on animals, etc.
