Like, in your yard or very close by. Here in cenla, I've seen deer, raccoons, and possums. A big owl hangs out in my tree. I see pileated woodpeckers once in a while. I hear bobcats sometimes, but haven't seen them. Bears are around, and some people have seen them, but I haven't yet. Others claim to have seen panthers, but I'm not sure I believe them.

And squatch. I know he's around.

I run over a wild rabbit at least once a week. Those little frickers are everywhere and think that running into the street is the best way to get away from a moving vehicle.

I used to slow down at first... but that shite happens so often I just run them over and keep on going.

not my home, but my parents

they (and I when I was younger) have seen pretty much every animal that lives in LA in their yard

the best was when they had a fox den with pups about 20 yards from the house, they would come out and play every night in the front yard

Mainly deer, but while walking my dog in an undeveloped portion of my neighborhood one time I saw a fox.

Pretty much the same. There's a hawk that perches over our yard on a tree that drives the dogs crazy. Occasional snake. Raccoons, possums, deer, humans, squirrels, armadillos, etc

Deer, coons, rabbits, opossums, snakes, frogs, yotes, and my neighbor killed a bobcat in his back yard with his bow earlier this year (in season).

Elliot road area.

I saw a massive groundhog a few months back and it weirded me the frick out. Had no idea what it was. It had to be 40 lbs of brown furball and it moved slow as shite running away. Thin tail too. Looked like Splinter halfway through the radioactive goo transformation.

A lot of deer, turkeys, rabbits, snakes and all kinds of birds (off the top of my head.)


It's cool basically living on a nature preserve.

Turkeys, yotes, rabbits, foxes, deer. And I live in town, albeit on a mountain with lots of undeveloped spaces between blocks and roads.
