General Description : | This year, our Baby Wildlife series wraps up with one last adorable issue. Each stamp captures the early days of some of Canada’s more recognizable wildlife: the baby beaver, mountain goat, puffin, wapiti and burrowing owl. With four years of newborn critter stamps to her credit, as well as other Canadian stamps since 1998, designer Sophie Lafortune strives to ensure these youngsters look their best. “The focus on the animals has kept the series fresh by giving new life to the stamps with each issue. New animals with different habitats meant new design challenges. Burrowing owl parents assure the comfort of their chicks by lining the burrow in feathers, dried plants and dry shredded cow manure. By August, the chicks begin living independently as they prepare for the annual migration to the south. |
