Spend time with 11 animals that are clearly done with winter

Thursday, February 4, 2016, 4:14 PM - It may be mild in parts of Canada right now but over the past few months, winter has made an appearance in most parts of the country in the form of wind, snow and ice.

Believe it or not, spring is just days away --  44 days away to be exact.

For some, that can't come soon enough.

We went digging through our archives and found these 11 photos of animals who can't wait for the seasons to change.
