Room for One More?
Matthew Lowe of Toronto snapped this photogenic animal, writing, “I captured this shot on a camping trip along the shore of the Weasel River within the Arctic Circle, which runs through Akshayuk Pass in the Auyuittuq National Park in Nunavut. The Weasel River has been aptly named as we found ourselves in the company of a curious short-tailed weasel that scampered about exploring our campsite!”

Ready to Strike
Nicholas Taffs of Airdrie, Alberta, writes, “I snapped this photo of a Prairie rattlesnake just outside of Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta’s Badlands. During the summer months, these snakes travel up and out of coulees and onto the grasslands in search of better hunting grounds. This particular snake was a very large one and had established an optimal feeding area near the farm equipment in the background.”
