We had one or two days warm and sunny enough to swim in the lake, and the rest was spent largely inside; avoiding the rain, mosquitoes (which are about twice the size of their Aussie cousins), and unseasonably chilly temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/IMG_3538_1.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/IMG_3538_1-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"Heron on the dock - one of many Canadian wild animals in Muskoka\" class=\"wp-image-740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/IMG_3538_1-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/IMG_3538_1.JPG 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>But this is Canada after all, so our visit wasn\u2019t completely bereft of wildlife viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first arrived in Australia, I was more than a little nervous about the massive concentration of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/theres-a-redback-in-my-kitchen\/\">deadly animals<\/a> \u2013 namely snakes and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/eek-the-australian-huntsman\/\">spiders<\/a>. Whenever I asked about how to navigate Australia\u2019s deadly terrain however, I was almost always met with the following remark:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy on earth are you worried about our little snakes and spiders? You have BEARS!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, yes. We have bears. But the difference is that you can usually see the bears coming. And in urban centres, bears aren\u2019t exactly a problem; you only tend to spot them in more remote areas. Deadly snakes and spiders however \u2013 they can get into a lot of nooks and crannies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a few months of living with said deadly Australian snakes and spiders though, I have become just as complacent as the locals about their presence. I don\u2019t bother them\u2026they don\u2019t bother me. (For the most part).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although this visit to Muskoka wasn\u2019t full of wildlife, the great blue heron was a treat to see, as it is not a common sight. The rest\u2026.well, as the pictures indicate, the rest of the wildlife was more implied than visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/IMG_3529_1.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/IMG_3529_1-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"Please Brake for Snakes sign\" class=\"wp-image-737\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/IMG_3529_1-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/IMG_3529_1.JPG 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>Yes, we have snakes in Canada.
