North American animals today! And boy, not going on and on forever was a bit tricky. Here are some cute animals that are from the continent now. As it's America, not all these animals might actually be native- some are found in other countries, some immigrated over. Still, they all can be found there today. (Though perhaps not easily found, in some cases.)

coyote

meadow vole

jackrabbit

bobcat

prarie dogpile

And a spider too!

Here it is:

I'm sure a lot of people have seen this pic before. Now you can find out its name! This is Phidippus mystaceus, and if that sounds a lot like moustache, well, that's why it's the moustache jumping spider. This one here is an adult female, and she's got a pretty interesting expression on, and the two below are both boys. Fun to look at, aren't they? THe adult females are only about a centimeter or so in length, so you can probably see a good deal of the detail that they display if you're looking closely.
