What is the common thread linking the town of Moose Jaw, the Joliette Coyotes hockey team, Beehive School and Trout Lake? They all bear the names of animals.

Animals are inspiring. some more so than others. In Canada, there are some 300 lakes with the word "trout" in them. Would you like to know the number of places, schools and sports groups that include the word beaver? Bear? Mosquito? To find the answer, write the name of the animal in this space.

Even though our data bank contains more than 15,000 entries, we have surely not yet discovered them all. For example, for geographical place names, we have limited ourselves to the animals of Canada (wildlife and farm animals).

If you know a place that bears the name of an animal and is not in this data bank, or if your school or group is named after an animal that is not registered here, please let us know.
