    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The sight of two fuzzy goslings waddling after their mother on a dreary Wednesday afternoon in late December put Londoners in awe, but it’s also raising concerns among environment experts.

    “Eastern gray squirrels in this area, at least in southwestern Ontario, have had not two litters as they normally do spring and fall, but this year they had three and I’ve never seen that before,” said Salt.

    He’s also never seen geese hatch eggs in December in the last 40 years that he’s worked as a wildlife expert.

    Gordon McBean, professor emeritus in geography and environment at Western University, fears the two little goslings may be a sign of a bigger issue on the horizon.

    McBean, an outspoken advocate on climate change, believes Mother Nature’s unusual behaviours will eventually become more and more common as the Earth continues to get hotter.

    The mild December temperature is affecting how animals biologically respond to different weather conditions and, in turn, may disrupt ecosystems and wildlife altogether.
