ITT: Common critters in your area

>>2253355
White tail deer are starting to come in to rut in my area. Which means there are a bunch of retarded, horny deer running around being dumb asses.

These little shits. My area used to get the green anoles before these guys, but it's been so long the brown anoles have forced adaptations to the green anoles to live in an arboreal niche. So, you'll never see them.

Some people like the noises they make. There's even radio stations dedicated to recordings of their grunting and hollering.

This. When I go out I always keep an eye on the ground to make sure I don't step on them.

Every morning this time of year I have 5 or 6 eating rotten ground apples in my yard. Then I have to play dodge a deer on my way to work. They eat on my landscaping and drive my dog crazy.
Trust me, cute innocent Bambi wears out her welcome by december. Don't even get me started on the super horny bucks either. They are as dumb as they are pretty.

Though I don't live there anymore, I used to live in a neighborhood located by a stream in Florida, and you'd occasionally see alligators crossing the streets at the crack of dawn. Hope they're still doing okay.

Alligators everywhere, the lake next to my house had a bunch of baby ones but animal control moved them because they were getting too big. My pic.

>>2254916
Are they like that all the time? Where I live you'll see and smell alot of skunks only certain times of year. Think it has to do with mating seasons or something.

>>2254980
It gets particularly funky during their mating season (Feb-March) because the males will try to court females with their smell, but they're still rampent nearly the entirety of the rest of the year as well. Anecdotal, but I've acknowledged they get particularly bad during the summer time (lotta dead ones on the road around that time of the year as well).

I have one of these guys I rescued from a petsmart I worked at.
It had escaped out of its enclosure when a coworker opened it up to start cleaning the cage and was lost for about 4 weeks. Went to rotate dogfood about 20 feet away from the reptiles and it was behind a bag of science diet. Thing was half dead and manager said to just throw it away since they wrote it out of system weeks ago. It drank some water off of my finger tips and ate a cricket that I ripped the legs off of so I bought some stuff for it and brought it home.

Shes really skiddish even though its been like 6 months and will bolt if I move too fast infront of the cage.

and of course all your classic birds like turkey vultures, crows, red tailed hawks, kestrels, and an assortment of songbirds. My favorite is the catbird

I've recently seen a lot of red foxes while driving home at night, so that's cool

Lots of raccoons and groundhogs, black grey squirrels, Fox squirrels, not much else in the woods other than the occasional Bigfoot passing through.

Can't forget the plethora of feral cats of course, they're always a fucking joy

I saw a little shrew bumbling along the sidewalk outside my front door last week. Awakened the inner child inside me and I tried to catch him, but he crawled under my fish pond and got away. I love shrews, they're cute

the niggers of the insect world

>>2257021
Ever since I saw the guy, it made me wonder if there was any reason that shrews couldn't be bred and tamed like mice. I mean, obviously they're not related genetically, but other than their poisonous bite, is there any other reason this couldn't happen?

I'd pay top dollar for a tame "fancy" shrew

>>2257048
They'd be super high maintenance with a very short lifespan.
They need live food and lots of it, every single day and night. People that are into "cute fluffy mammal" don't do live food.

Coyotes. Hear the pups playing nearly every night. Watched an adolescent one hunt mice in the neighbors field

Years later, was mucking around in the swamps near my old house and i found a turtle shell sticking out of the mud. I pryed it out with a stick and it slid into the water ominously. The most interesting animal ive seen in nj must have been
a wild cat, like a mountain cat.
