[backbreaker]

i grew up in basically a wooded area of little rock where they were building new sub divisions. i saw a pretty young black bear once while building a tree house with my best friend. couldn
t have been older than 1-2 years old.

i also picked up a coral snake once thinking it was a worm i could use for fish bait lol. lucky i didn
't get bi


i remember being high as hell one daay in sarasota in my rental house which was ... 2 blocks from the beach and looking outside and seeing a stork lol. duude was just ****ing parlying in my pool i didnt know if i was just that high or if it was really a stork. i'm from arkansas we dont have cool animals like storks so i tried to feed it some bread lol but then i saw that beak and went back inside

Earlier this year I about hit a bobcat coming home from work late at night. They are rare in my State but are out there. We don't have bears other than sitting on highways in squad cars.

A fox came right up to me and my girlfriend once. We backed away carefully thinking it might have rabies.

A black bear crossed the street right in front of my car two years ago.

Made friends with an owl when I used to run on the bike path. It was a mother with a young un and they would always meet me on a bridge fence and allow me to walk right up to them.

A huge coyote squared off with me one night at twilight on that same bike path. Again, I backed away slowly.

I get these turkey vultures flying laps in my yard every year. They stay low and within the yard. They must be waiting for old Atom Smasher to kick it.

I get all kinds of stuff in my neighborhood. Deer walking through my yard, skunks hanging around my front step. I have woodpeckers in my trees, and I've even seen an owl perched on a hydro post. I had a damn groundhog living under my shed a few years back.

Hmmm.. speaking of groundhogs... Just this morning I found a couple of tunnels coming up from under my deck that's close to the ground, and saw a big fat groundhog wandering around.

Did you do anything to get rid of the groundhog?

We don't have bears

They are downstate where I live. A gf of mine saw one near my house, which is next to a wildlife preserve. There are also mountain lions all over. One was killed by a pickup truck last fall, about five miles from me. Here's the pic of it:

Dang that's a bigger cat than the bobcats around me! What kind of bears are there I didn't think Illinois had any anywhere .

 

[Bible_Belt]

They are black bears. They're harmless. Unless you were messing with a cub, I don't think you could pick a fight with a black bear even if you tried. They run away from people.

Mountain lions have similar personalities, in that they are scared of people. They only attack humans when they are starving to death, which only happens out west, anyway. There's plenty of food around here.

Here's a trail cam pic from Van Buren, Missouri, of a Mountain Lion on the way home with some take-out food:

"Let's do this"... Ha! I like that!

When I was a little kid, we had a pet alligator. I have no idea where we got it from. I used to hold him in my hand on his back and rub his stomach and he would just close his eyes and lay there. He was around 18 inches long including his tail.

One day the neighbor lady came over and was annoying him and he bit down on her finger. She flung him across the room and he died. I always felt very bad about that.
