Black Bear: Despite its impressive stature, the North American black bear is actually the continent's smallest bear species. The black bear is the most common bear species worldwide, and due to its close proximity to urban areas, the most frequently sighted and interacted with by humans.

History: Bears are a prominent symbol in American history and folklore. The Navajo prayed to the black bear, and believed that it was the strongest of all the bears.

Scientific Name: Ursus Americanus Characteristics: Black bears in the eastern regions of North America typically have black fur, while those in the western regions usually have brown, reddish-brown, blonde or even white fur. This black bear toy figurine is as beautifully hand painted as it is scientifically accurate.

Size: 4.5 inches long, 2.5 tall, this black bear toy model is about the size of a soda can on its side.

Coyote: Smaller but very similar to their relative the gray wolf, coyotes are a type of canine that are endemic to North and Central America. What coyotes lack in size and strength they make up for in adaptability, as they can survive in almost all types of environments!

History: A prominent figure in American and Native American folklore, coyotes are often depicted as clever tricksters, similar to foxes, despite the many differences between the two. However, as coyotes have begun to densely inhabit and dwell in urban and suburban areas, the attitude towards them has become increasingly negative. In these areas, coyotes are often seen as pests.

Eagle Owl: The Eagle Owl is among the largest owl species, with a wingspan of over 6 feet. These owls are distributed across a wide range of varied habitats across Europe and Asia. Like their American cousins the horned owls, they are known for their pointed ear tufts.

History: Also known as the European Eagle Owl and the Eurasian Eagle Owl, this bird is often simply referred to as the Eagle Owl. It is often called the largest of the owls, though it has some competition from the Great Gray Owl (which has a longer body) and Blakiston's Fish Owl (which is heavier).

Raccoon: Raccoons are commonly found all throughout North America, as well as some parts of Europe, and tend to inhabit deciduous forests.

History: Because of their close proximity to urban areas and their overall population size, raccoons interact with humans fairly often. Originally, Native Americans included raccoons in their folk tales in which they were portrayed as tricksters in the same vein as foxes.

Scientific Name: Procyon lotor

Whitetail Doe: Whitetail deer are what's known as a generalist, which means they can adapt to a wide range of habitats. They can be found all throughout Canada and the continental United States, and their populations even stretch all throughout Central America and into the northern part of South America.

History: Although whitetail deer can be found in plentiful numbers all throughout their natural habitats, it was only a little less than 100 years ago that they were on the verge of becoming endangered. Fortunately, their numbers have increased by nearly 1000% in the last century. In fact, whitetail deer are so well populated that they're seen as pests in urban and agricultural areas!

Scientific Name: Odocoileus virginianus

Elk Bull: One of the largest species within the Cervidae family as well as one of the largest land mammals in North America, elk are endemic to forest habitats in North America and Eastern Asia. However, they adapt remarkably well and have successfully been introduced into other countries. History: Although elks primarily live in forest regions throughout Asia and North America, their ability to adapt to different areas has allowed them to also inhabit semi-desert and mountainous regions. It's believed that in North America alone there are over 2 million elk, classifying them as an animal of least concern. Scientific Name: Cervus canadensis Characteristics: As is the case with many members of the deer family, male elks have large, sprawling antlers while females do not.
