Chuck the Channel Cat Statue: Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada

Manitoba's Chuck the Channel Cat wears a grin.

From its home at the Daerwood Motor Inn in Selkirk, Manitoba, this 30-foot monument to the area's enormous catfish greets visitors with a smile.

Chuck's mission: to help promote Selkirk as the "Catfish Capital," a suitable title for the place where anglers often yank 30-pounders from the Red River.
