That’s beaver looks like the mom in What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
@PugJesus This image *is* Canada.
Um, an Englishman coming here, pretending to be O.G., while taking advantage of a much younger indigenous woman? That is, historically, not a bad metaphor for Canada.
Photo is Archibald Belaney, stage name Grey Owl, and the beaver was a pet because his young girlfriend didn’t like how he ran his trapline.

Boom, tish... "I'm here all week, try the veal."
