Ohh! yeah squirrels are pretty common here for me too! raccoons and skunks semi common xD Deers can be spotted occasionally when i go to national parks or some sort of natural habitat. but yes i've seen bears before! haha.
I think it's probably more common to see more wildlife here in Canada @.@ where my friend lives, which is like 20 minutes away from me, is more common to have bears that would come to your lawn or something XD my friend says every once in a while, around the same time of the year, the bear would visit her back yard's garbage can for food lol! but omg that is so cute lol!!! hopefully it didn't startle you guys too much XD!
but i live in Vancouver which is by the west coast, so we actually occasionally get to see whales by the waters too! then there's the otters etc but also rare :3
