On a recent trip to Lake Cowichan, 111 km NW from Victoria, we spotted this beaver swimming quite close to shore. It's the first time I'd ever seen one and it was a very canadian moment. For more info on our national animal, here is a link to Wikipedia. - Fern

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

Never seen one in the wild either.
