Sweetest Tricks<\/b><\/p>\n

It takes skill and the right attitude to become the best snowboarder in the world. Luckily in Canada, our wildlife is brimming with skill and attitude. There\u2019s going to be some sweet tricks at the Olympics this week, but none as sweet as the ones performed by Canadian wildlife.<\/p>\n

Bronze Medal-Porcupine<\/b><\/p>\n

With over 30,000 quills, the Porcupine makes a very intimidating first impression.\u00a0 The best trick of this slow living relative of the beaver is mostly an illusion. When threatened it will turn its back to the enemy and aggressively thrash its tail dislodging quills.\u00a0 The force from this will make it appear the quills were shot out.\u00a0\u00a0 This is one trick that looks very impressive!<\/p>\n

Silver Medal-American Crow<\/b><\/p>\n

This silver medalist can be found showing off its matte black plumage in a city near you. Think what you want about its attitude, the American Crow may be the most intelligent bird on earth. This bird\u2019s signature trick is dropping tough to crack nuts at busy intersections for cars to run over. They will then wait with pedestrians at the cross walk until they are safe to get their snack.\u00a0 The crow\u2019s sweet tricks and dedication to snacking has earned it the silver medal.<\/p>\n

Gold Medal-Sea Otter<\/b><\/p>\n

The most laid back animal with the sweetest tricks is obviously the Canadian Sea Otter. These mammals rock the thickest fur coats of any animal and spend their day\u2019s body surfing on their backs. When it\u2019s time to eat they\u2019ll grab a clam, place it on their chest, and smash it open with a rock. They are one of the only animals who can do this trick. Watch out Shawn White, the Sea Otter might be cooler than you.<\/p>\n

Figures de style parfaites<\/b><\/p>\n

Il faut \u00eatre agile et faire preuve d\u2019une bonne attitude pour devenir le meilleur surfeur des neiges au monde. Heureusement au Canada, notre faune poss\u00e8de \u00e0 la fois cette agilit\u00e9 et cette attitude. Aux Olympiques, nous allons assister \u00e0 l\u2019ex\u00e9cution de figures de style cette semaine, mais aucune ne sera aussi parfaite que celles qui sont r\u00e9alis\u00e9es par la faune canadienne.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gagnant de la m\u00e9daille de bronze \u2014 Le porc-\u00e9pic <\/b><\/p>\n

Avec ses quelque 30\u00a0000 piquants, le porc-\u00e9pic peut produire une premi\u00e8re impression assez intimidante. La meilleure figure que r\u00e9alise cette lente cr\u00e9ature, cousine du castor, tient en grande partie de l\u2019illusion. Lorsqu’il se sent menac\u00e9, le porc-\u00e9pic tourne le dos \u00e0 son adversaire et fouette agressivement sa queue, ce qui a pour effet d\u2019en d\u00e9loger les piquants. La force de ce coup de queue donne l\u2019impression que les piquants sont projet\u00e9s, ce qui n\u2019est pas le cas. Un truc qui a l’air tr\u00e8s impressionnant!<\/p>\n

Gagnant de la m\u00e9daille d’argent \u2013 La Corneille d’Am\u00e9rique <\/b><\/p>\n

Vous pouvez retrouver cette m\u00e9daill\u00e9e faisant \u00e9talage de son plumage noir mat dans une ville pr\u00e8s de chez vous. Pensez ce que vous voulez de cette attitude, il n\u2019en demeure pas moins que la Corneille d’Am\u00e9rique est probablement l’oiseau le plus intelligent de la \u200b\u200bterre. Sa figure de style \u00ab\u00a0signature\u00a0\u00bb, c\u2019est la m\u00e9thode qu\u2019elle a trouv\u00e9e pour casser des coquilles de noix difficiles en les laissant tomber au milieu d\u2019intersections achaland\u00e9es afin que les voitures leur roulent dessous. Ensuite, elle attend \u00e0 la traverse avec les pi\u00e9tons le bon moment pour r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer sa collation en toute s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Cette figure de style et sa pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance valent \u00e0 la Corneille d\u2019Am\u00e9rique la m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent.<\/p>\n

Gagnant de la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or \u2013 La loutre de mer<\/b><\/p>\n

L’animal le plus d\u00e9contract\u00e9 avec ses figures de style des plus parfaites est certainement la loutre de mer du Canada. Ce mammif\u00e8re porte le plus \u00e9pais des manteaux de fourrure et passe ses journ\u00e9es \u00e0 faire du surf sans planche sur le dos. Quand il est temps de manger, la loutre saisit une palourde, la place sur sa poitrine, et \u00e0 l\u2019aide d\u2019une roche, brise sa coquille. La loutre est l\u2019un des rares animaux \u00e0 pouvoir r\u00e9aliser ce truc. Prenez garde, Shawn White\u00a0: la loutre de mer pourrait bien \u00eatre plus \u00ab\u00a0cool\u00a0\u00bb que vous!<\/p>\n
