1. Well it's made us realize that our country's creatures are truly terrifying...
2. ...LY ADORABLE.
3. Seriously. We have some of the world's most darling animals waddling among us.
4. And who co-exist with us, and themselves, pretty OK. Look at this beaver booping the other beaver. *Beaver boop*
5. So while they're the land of Oz, we are the land of awwwwwws (get it?!).
6. Where doe-eyed things that look like they just walked out of a Disney movie will come right up to ya.
7. And lean in for a smooch? OK, this is too close, Canada. Too close.
9. Our animals will creep up on you, too.
10. But it's more like ･✿ヾ╲(｡◕‿◕｡)╱✿･ﾟhello, I was just in the neighbourhood.
11. Just on our way to school!
12. Even possibly the most terrible form of bird and/or fellow living thing, the Canada Goose, can breed such small adorableness.
13. LOOK AT THESE LIL' ITTY BITTY GOOBER GOSLINGS!
Goslings: the cutest Canadian commodity.
14. And most of the time in Canada, they're more afraid of you than you are of them.

18. Look at the littlest lamb trying to take a sniff of a dandelion.
19. Look at this rescued baby seal from Nova Scotia, still full of delight and hope for a future of flipper-clapping ahead.
Aww! RT @CTVNews: RCMP rescued this baby seal found 'waddling' near a highway in Newtown, N.S. http://t.co/GTSmGOH6u2
Two news headlines that almost make every brutal winter worthwhile:

21.
22. The country is *literally* carried on the backs of adorable service animals.
23. Who spend months of rigorous training before they get to go out and perform on the field.
!!!!!!!
24. Hey, our non-threatening wildlife make for some pretty threatening major league teams this year, eh?
25. While — yes, wild bears can actually pose a real and very dangerous threat — WHY DO THEY ACT LIKE HUMAN TODDLERS SOMETIMES AND WHY IS IT SO DELIGHTFUL??!?

29. During our Canadian winters, even domesticated animals become a thousand times more adorable.
30. It's ruff out there.
31. And while there are squirrels found on a lot of surfaces in the world...
32. Ours are the most photogenic and aww-inspiring.
Australia: There is a land out there for you, 14167 km away, and on the flipside of the equator..
