There's nothing particularly remarkable about spotting wildlife in the Don Valley, but wildlife in the middle of the Don Valley Parkway is another matter entirely. Most animals shy away from traffic and roads, but this solitary groundhog took up residence south of Eglinton Avenue in the highway median between the north- and southbound lanes of the Parkway several months ago. It's frequently visible from the northbound lanes during the afternoon and evening, and has been spotted munching on the flowers planted in the median, scouting out the grassy field, and even sleeping on top of the concrete barrier beside the southbound lanes.

Cows cause traffic tie-ups on the QEW. Best line of story: "We have someone en route with rodeo experience." Rodeo experience. To get a cow to move off the damn road. (Did nobody just try waving food in front of the cow's face?)
