DYI Bear, part 4

DYI Bear, part 1


Despite a strong showing from the musk ox and the salmon, the stand-out animal from the previous 'O Canada' thingy was definitely the bear. The DYI bear, to be more precise. So here's a little bit more of him.

A typical Canadian scene. From left to right: moose, bear, manly Canadian man, peacock, salmon, musk ox, owl. Under the Canadian man's foot we see to platypuses (platypi?) and a toad. At the time of writing I have yet to visit Canada.
