Manitoba Mammals

We found ourselves with a few hours to spare in Manitoba this fall and took a quick day trip out to my parents place in Pinawa. While we were there we had a quick 'game drive' of local wildlife as it had been quite awhile since we'd been in that neck of the woods in fall.

Starting off with something easy, white-tailed deer are everywhere in town and remarkably fearless so I was able to walk up to this one in a neighbors yard and get some nice pictures. They are not quite in their summer coats anymore but not in their fully shaggy donkey look that they adopt in the winter.
We did a small search in a few likely places and were able to turn up a pair of black bears. The first was very far in the bush and too obscured to photograph, but this little yearling was grazing on fallen acorns at Seven Sisters Falls and was willing to pose briefly for this picture.
These guys are a bit of a cheat as they are not remotely native to Canada, but there is an alpaca farm near Whitemouth and we stopped for a look on our way by. They are presumably being raised for their wool and there were several dozen of them in the enclosure.
