Strange Creatures Promote Montreal Travel
A new campaign to promote Montreal travel is employing some strange creatures. The menagerie of marvelous beasts were created from mash-ups of real animals. They include a "bullguin", which is a bulldog/penguin, and "deerus", which is a deer/walrus, and "foxutan", which is a fox/orangutan, and a "squirrog", which, you guessed it, is a cross between a squirrel and a frog.
These fanciful creatures are meant to be ambassadors to the city, welcoming tourists to the season of 106 eclectic festivals that take place there over the summer. These include the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the Just For Laughs comedy festival, and the Les FrancoFolies de Montreal, which is a festival of Francophone music. Other attractions featured in the campaign include exhibitions and events like Indian Jones and the Adventure of Archaeology at the Montreal Science Center, the Grand Prix du Canada, and "Totem", a new Cirque du Soleil show.
