North and central america The animals I’ve encountered on my travels to the North American continent. I’ll add a Southern section as soon as I’ve been there… Bears Black bears and grizzlies. A couple of close encounters in here. Deer Moose, elk and the deer family. Marine mammals Whales, orca, sea lions and, of course, seals. Rodents Beavers, marmots, chipmunks, squirrels and a weasel.
