Cougar-felis concolor
The Cougar apparently is the largest native North American feline. The cougar looks simply like a big cat but with one important difference, it also has a huge long tail, this tail is used mainly for balance and maneuverability for traveling at fast speeds and over mountainous landscapes. Most Cougars are light brown, tanned or tanned gray. This is excellent camouflage for it's mostly northern environment.
 Just by looking at the Cougar you can tell it is built to hunt larger animals. It's jaw has a large gape and long sharp teeth meant for biting into prey of larger size than itself. Long sharp claws on every digit
of each foot. Each claw reciprocates in and out of the foot for when the Cougar is pouncing or just walking. The Cougar's favourite food seems to tend to be white tailed deer and mule deer which (of course)  live in the same area.-Ministry of the Environment (M.O.E)
 
The Cougar's territory is very large, it spans from the bottom of Alaska right down to the Gulf of Mexico on the west coast. Unfortunately the population is about 9/100km squared at the highest.
 
Cougars die for many reasons. Not only for the causes of man either. Since Cougars hunt animals larger than themselves they can sometimes take many injuries in an attack. From punctured abdomens to broken backs the Cougar suffers and dies.  Also many Cougars starve to death due to the expansion and advancement of humans into the habitat and one of the Cougar's few food source becomes less common or scarce, and sometimes unfortunately the Cougar itself is as well.
 The Cougar was hunted at first when it was viewed as an enemy of European settlers. The cougar would raid the settlers livestock alot which did not help the species. $50 bounties were then paid for their capture. Thus the Cougar was almost exterminated from western  North America. Luckily now, this is no longer an issue and the feline now almost completely lives in peace with the human race.

Bald eagle- haliaeetus leucocephalus

The largest Canadian bird of prey; the majestic bald eagle is so well known it is resembled on the American quarter and the Canadian $50 bill. this species has become more than just a vicious air predator, it's abilities are envied and is even looked upon as a symbol of courage and boldness.
 the bald eagle has a wingspan of more than 2 metres wide, weighing up past 7 kg! The eagle has sight four times stronger than that of any human. It gets it's traditional colours at the age of 5 years.
 This symbolic bird is spread across the continent, coast to coast. Surprisingly enough most of Ontario is in it's territory.
 All throughout this area the eagle survives primarily on aquatic organisms, live or dead, almost anything with food value, even roadkill. always every bird for themselves.
 A pair would build themselves a huge nest, measuring 1.5-2 metres across and 1 metre tall, (sometimes larger!) and usually near a water source on the largest tree in the area.  -Ministry of Environment
 In the nest the female would lay a few eggs over a span of a few days.  they incubate for over a month. Once hatched the eaglings get big appetites. The oldest eats first and would sometimes eat the youngest.  "hatchlings grow very quickly from 90g to 5000 in two months" they begin flying around the 11th week  at this time they start feeding themselves. Mainly leftover carcasses at this age. Hunting begins later in adulthood. -ministry of the environment

 The first big decline in eagle population was due to the English settlers, who came, destroyed their homes and stole their food and sometimes shot and trapped the birds themselves. The population is rising  again probably due to the bald eagle act of 1940 which stopped eagle hunting; yet it still remains an endangered species.

This bird of prey is probably one of the fastest known birds in the world. In a dive it has been recorded to travel faster than 300 kph. This bird's hunting techniques are slightly unique to that of most other animal's, for one thing it does not prey on dead animals or fish at all.
The Peregrine Falcon will fly up and get alot of altitude then at the right time it would dive down at other birds and plunge into it. Usually killing the prey instantly. The falcon would then carry it to a nearby cliff or if it's too heavy would let it drop and go down to the ground to eat.


 It is easy tell the falcon has a unique hunting habit just by comparing it's silhouette to other birds.  Infact you can tell this with most birds:
 
                       

falcon- air diver     buteo- scavenger,soarer   accipiter-heavy forested    harrier-water diver
                                                                bird chaser
                                                             (not to equal scales)

     In the 1960's the Peregrine Falcon was  hunted, trapped it's nests were robbed and was commonly poisoned by DDT (Dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane). Luckily by 1988 a recovery team came and saved the few left and began raising them in a clean zone. The falcon population began to rise again. By 1990 there were about 1500 again. Some of the surviving falcons were then introduced to cities as a living environment. The skyscrapers would act as big cliffs and they would have pigeons as a primary source of food.
