O Canada 6

Day six of my Things Canada is Known For series. Today l look at Canada's national animal the beaver.
The beaver was chosen due to the impact it had on the fur trade which was a huge industry in earliest days of our nation.
It was officially adopted as our national animal in 1975 and today is on the Canadian nickel which is our 5 cent coin. It was also on Canada's first postage stamp

[Peter Dulis]

Good old beaver :)

[Margaret Brown]

Nice capture of this protected species

[winghong_ho]

I like this coin. Great capture.

[Francoise]

I didn't know that about the beaver. I just walked through a piece of woods the other days that the beavers had clear cut!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I do remember stories about the fur trades in the early days of both our countries. I like the bold way this coin stands out against the black background. Good macro!

[Diana]

What a great shot, I love this wonderful animal!

[eDorre]

Cool! Such amazing focus

[Issi Bannerman]

Nice shot and topic.

[Boxplayer]

Lovely. They have reintroduced beavers to parts of the UK and they are already settling in nicely.

[Valerie Chesney]

I do like your beaver.. Great capture.

[Lou Ann]

Oh so interesting! Great capture of the coin.

[william wooderson]

But they're important for maintaining rivers too! Fav.

nice coin, yes have been fishing for shrimp in Canada for about 12 years and landed in Harbor Grace. 😊

[Harry J Benson]

Nice sharp macro

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very nice. Interesting information, too.

[Fisher Family]

A lovely clear shot. I like the way the coins and stamps of a country can say a lot about its culture, history and identity.
