 * Animals ** // There are two main animals in Saskatchewan. The raccoon lives in the Southern part of Saskatchewan. There may be four to six rings on it's tail. It is related to the bear. Raccoons eat crawdads, snails, frogs, reptiles, insects, corn, and worms. The moose has a long flap of fur- covered skin called a bell that dangles under the chin. The moose can grow to be over 3 meters in length, and a shoulder height of over 2 meters. To get water during the winter, they will eat the snow.
