In the above layout the antelope (upper right), the plains buffalo (lower right), and the Badger (middle left) represent faunal types of the southern prairie provinces; the white-tailed deer and grey squirrel (black is also a colour phase) are found in the transition zone of eastern Canada. The commoner and smaller red squirrel is found in all wooded parts of Canada. At middle right is shown a typical transition habitat of hardwood forest in Ontario, and at lower left a transition (campestrian) habitat in south western Saskatchewan.
