most famous one is the maple leaf, which appears in the center of the Canadian flag.

and yellow in autumn.

their fur, which was used to make warm clothes and hats. Because of this, the
beaver became a symbol of hard work and survival. Today, it is a protected animal

national anthem “O Canada,” and the red and white colors of the flag.
