    Good to know. Nevertheless, I hope to never be in a situation where I get to find out. I’m guessing they’re suuuuper rare here. I checked the iNaturalist app and there were no observed sightings of either type mentioned in that article.

    There’s probably just a colony in the back of a supermarket somewhere.

      I’m from Vancouver, and there was definitely a few that lived out back of my dad’s house when I was a teen. TIL my dad’s house was a supermarket!

        I can see them surviving in the wild in Vancouver, but here in MB it regularly gets to -30 to -40 for several months in the winter. I’m not sure they’d like that too much.

        That said, maybe your dad’s house is a supermarket. Does he have lots of food in it?

          Well…he’s definitely a better cook than my mum, but I’d say more like regular amount of food?
