Ottawa, Ontario - Wild rabbit

If you like wildlife, Canada is for you. The population is tiny in comparison to the huge land mass, so you're never far from the bush. In addition, Canadian cities seem to be much better planned than most American cities, with greenbelts and parkland distributed around town to make nature even more accessible. So even if you are in a metropolitan area, it's still common to see animals around. We've seen beavers, rabbits, Canada Geese, ducks, ospreys, robins, bluejays, lots of other birds, and tons of squirrels - all in metro areas.

This beautiful wild rabbit was in the greenbelt only about 4 metres (12 feet) from a major thoroughfare. Unfortunately I only had my camera phone with me, so these aren't the best quality, but worth sharing nonetheless.
