Honestly foxes. They are so fun to photograph and there are none on Vancouver Island.

I have a mating pair of foxes that live right next to my house in a small unmaintained area. I spot them pretty regularly in the early morning and it's kind of a fun treat. They nab a lot of bunnies from my yard.
Kukaburra, what a great call. Second only to the haunting loon call.
Somehow we can get the red panda to replace the raccoon. This is my wish.
Polar bears. It would be hilarious.
Cassowary. Giant dinosaur bird that will lunge at you get first with razor sharp talons. But looks cool and prehistoric. One of the few creatures that terrify zoo keepers as they are smart enough to be evil but not smart enough to be tamed
Raccoons! I can't believe we don't already have them here!!
They aren't nearly as cool as you are imagining. They break into your trashcan and shit everywhere. Also their shit carries a bunch of diseases. They also attack your pets.
Pretending that theyβd have a good life here: koalas and elephants.
but it's the EPA
Tarantulas. We don't have any.
Dodo bird.
Giant land snails!! They're soooo sooooo cuttteeee, but also unfortunately sooo destructive here.
Platypus would be cool, or African land snails
I need sloths, hummingbirds, monarch butterflies, raccoons and orang utans in my life, please.
You do not want raccoons in your life. They are horrible criminal psychopaths that will bite you.
So you're saying they're more suited for political ambitions?
Hedgehogs or stoats. They're delightful little critters in their own ways I love them both
red pandas.
also pandas.
samoyeds too.
cockatiels, elephant seals, blue whales and giant squids aren't bad either.
Cane toads.
Nutrias. Oh wait, they're already here!
They're not non-native, but I'd love to introduce more mountain lions if they could be adapted to this sprawl. There's way too many deer and feral cats around here.
