This Metroblogging site has a pre-fab set of categories, and for whatever reason, there’s one called “Mythical Animals,” just after Bears and Killer Whales.

Every time I make a post, I try to think of a way to work mythical animals into it, but I haven’t been able to make it happen. So I’m asking you, dear reader, to help out. Tell me about a mythical Vancouver animal in the comments. I’ll start:

The Vancouger can be seen in her natural habitat, the courts at the Jericho Tennis Club ^[1]. Often spotted wearing (or wearing spotted) lululemon pants and offering to buy microbrews for young male cyclists passing by the patio. They hunt in packs but devour their prey in isolation, usually while their husbands are on “fishing trips.”

Your turn!
