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.
