Animal Urbanites of Vancouver

Inspired by the many animals making their home within Vancouver, these creatures were turned into familiar (human) characters witnessed throughout the city.
You can find this chap in the warm summer months in the city parks. Usually with a beer in hand, they indulge as much as possible while the good weather lasts. You can find them as a group hanging out, or by themselves with a good book in hand.
Neighbourhood most commonly seen in: Mount Pleasant. 
Vancouver is the home of Lululemon, so you'll never be short on sightings of these tights-clad, yoga mat-slug-over-their-shoulder gals throughout the city.
Neighbourhood most commonly seen in: Kitsilano.
A regular visitor of the Commercial Drive haunts amongst the Chinese and Italian grocers, you'll find these tote-carrying creatures bouncing between coffee shops, thrift stores, and vegetarian restaurants. 
Neighbourhood most commonly seen in: Commercial Drive.
You'll find the familiar mix of tatted-up coffee lovers in their designated favourite coffee shop, with their impeccable side parts and slouchy toque. 
Neighbourhood most commonly seen in: Gastown.
When the umbrellas come out, it must be really pouring. Many of Vancouver's inhabitants will opt out on using an umbrella, unless it's an absolute must. ​​​​​​​
Neighbourhood most commonly seen in: Anywhere in Vancouver.
Find these guys either unsteadily paddle boarding for the first time, or effortlessly navigating the surf with elegant poise. Especially experienced paddlers can also strike a yoga pose. 
Neighbourhood most commonly seen in: Jericho Beach (or any beach).
Vancouver is a city of running lovers, and you'll often find them in running groups powering through the streets of 4th Ave or the Seawall.
Most commonly seen in: The Seawall.
