can't go 5 minutes without seeing one.
>>710503154
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.
European Badger. Sadly see quite a few of them hit by cars as a result. I love them.
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.
>>710503154
5 out of 10 snek is this one
others are eastern browns and tipans
>>710503154
raccoons are based tho
>>710503228
>tfw neighborhood cats keep killing the green ones and leaving the corpses everywhere
Fucking assholes.
>>710504172
Sigh. Why can't cats kill refugees.
>>710504191

Like to wipe them all out but unfortunately they're protected by law for some reason.
>>710504283
Some people like the noises they make. There's even radio stations dedicated to recordings of their grunting and hollering.
>>710503228
This. When I go out I always keep an eye on the ground to make sure I don't step on them.
can't go 5 minutes without seeing one.
>>710504250
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.
These lil' things are all over the place.
Ants are pretty common. I dont know what species this is, but we have a lot of P. Barbatus colonies.
good thread idea OP, ty
these fucking pieces of shit
>>710504542
I can't unsee the teths in the tongue.
There's plenty of this.
these cunts are everywhere
These guys are everywhere here. Australian east water dragon
>>710504672
And these shitheads seem to think its hilarious to run across your tin roof at 3am
>>710503228
Wish we had lizards up here.
Most common animal is squirrels here.
>>710504723
I have never seen an squirrel.
How are they compared to rats?
>>710504746
Fluffy and out in the open
i'm almost convinced that these fuckers just deliberately jump in front of cars from how often i seem them mushed across the roads
>>710504696
At least it's cute. American possums are the most hideous creatures alive.
>>710504746
Bigger and more annoying
>>710503228
Aw, I used to love seeing the green guys on trips to Florida.
>>710503154
>It's a Jersey thing.
Common to see, even in families running through streets or neighborhoods.
>>710504855
>that one episode with the Forest ranger
>>710504795
I hate those faggots. My dogs have cornered at least 3 of the little shits. Not a great idea as they're meaner than hell.
>>710503154
found this guy under my favorite rock.
I see them in the canals by my house all the time
>>710504892
This just generates more questions.
Does it has legs?
What it's supposed to be?
What kind of person has a favorite rock, and why were you moving it?
>>710504795
Only animal I've ever hit. Which is crazy considering how many squirrels are in my area.
>>710504172

Nah, just saddened that my cute native lizards just can't compete with the multitudes of invasive cubans and cats.

Holy mother of fuck are these things everywhere in Pennsylvania. If your senses aren't being assaulted by the reek of cows and their manure, it'll likely be raped by the local populace of fucking spraying skunks.
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.
>>710505098
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.
>>710505171
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).
Constantly running these fucks out of my yard. They get together in annoying little groups and yip all night.
>>710504542
>MFW it's illegal to kill those shit factories
>>710504892
Is that a motherfucking Dunsparce
I have no idea why but there's fucking dozens of these little shits around my house. I haven't gotten close enough to tell if they're albino or just white, but there's more of them than the damn gray ones
>>710503228
I have tons of green anoles where I live. I'm surprised and happy the brown anoles haven't invaded. I'm in Georgia.
>>710504810
are you really implying that >>710504795 isn't cute?
>>710504936
>>710505229
It's a skink you idiot. yes you can see the legs right there. Skinks have small legs and stay close to the ground.
>>710505129
>>710505154
Nice, these guys are so beautiful and chill.
>>710503154
I wish there were foxes nearby.
>>710505318
>forgot pic
all we have is fucking grey squirrels.
>>710503154
These fuckers always breaking my bird feeder
>>710505318
There is at least 2 possibly 3 foxes in the area around my house.
I used to work until 2am so would always see them on my way home.
Even heard two of them fighting outside my bedroom window.
Well, I'm from Germany...
These fucks constantly tearing up my yard
Eastern tent caterpillars. Always making nests, constantly have to remove them.
>>710503228
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.
>>710504795
Quad quads 4 opossums, nice.
>>710504746
Squirrels have a lot of energy and are running around chasing each other and jumping through trees from branch to branch. They can run up and down trees incredibly fast.
>>710505406
Same bro, holes everywhere. Anybody know of humane ways of keeping them out of your yard?
We have 2 backyard possums which share food with the cat.
Why are they so cute? And why are they such little bastards that get in your trash?
>>710505098
My neighbourhood has had a sudden growth in population of these little stinkers. They're fucking everywhere. I have to be constantly on the alert walking at night so I don't risk getting sprayed.
Not only are they more common than pigeons, they don't even go *CAW CAW*

One time I saw an adult red fox
Gotta love Florida

These little fuckers use my back garden like some kind of fox fight club.
I live in Ohio so

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
Stepped on one once, as a kid. Stun me in a vein in soft instep my foot. Not the worst pain I've ever felt, but damned close. Probably about equivalent to having a red hot poker shoved under the skin in your foot, and rammed halfway up your leg...
>>710505819
>unsuccessful taming of the shrew
Lucky enough to get Kaka where I live, which is a pretty rare bird. I'm in the North Island of NZ
the niggers of the insect world
>>710505838
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
>>710505894
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
>>710505833
*stung...
Despite being wingless, they're technically a wasp. They have the most painful sting of any creature in North America, snakes, scorpions and shit included.

In my backyard, all over my school, all over my workplace, at the beach, in the marina, I'm surprised that I don't see dead iguanas more often on the road

So many of these fuckers in Central Valley. My german shepherds killed, and been sprayed by, three skunks this year and now he smells like death, even after I deodorized him.
I've been seeing wild turkeys all over the place this year for some reason, always find them relaxing to watch.

At my college there are thousands and they are incredibly friendly. Some lady even makes hates for them!
>>710505248
>gentrification knows no bounds
>>710503154
Fuck these ass holes. They walk out in front of cars without hesitation and they'll just sit in the road and scream at your car. Hairy fucking pigs.
They are in my yard pretty much every day.
See them all the time when I bike innawoods.
>>710506152
Are they at least tasty?
These little niggas like to waddle all over my yard and drive my dog insane.
Can't step outside without seeing atleast three of them
>>710503154

We call those cow ants. Best to relocate to concrete/asphalt due to the thick exoskeleton. Smashing into dirt just doesn't do the job

Hello fellow Penn Stater
>>710507159
0/10
I have removed 6 of these guys in the last 3 months, from outside my computer room. They find a way into the house from beneath the siding and they love to nest right behind my monitors, which drives me crazy when they get a bug up their ass and start chasing each other through the walls and across the ceiling. So I got rid of a half dozen of them, via a live trap, took them several miles away, and when some nearby local monsters noticed their neighbors weren't around anymore, they started coming into the house to steal their cache. I hear them about once a week, but it's no where near as bad as it was when the other family lived inside the walls.
I just hope they didn't have babies in there that are now rotting little corpses.
>>710505222
>MFW it's illegal to kill those shit factories
Uh-oh.
What if you're defending your dog? Technically dog instigated, but what could I do?
>>710506234
Don't forget these assholes.
>>710504283
Pls, tell me they only wear pants like that for the picture.
>>710507159
You need to go back to grade school ya dummy. 100% wolverine
During the summer I'll see wild turkeys, snapping turtles, blue herons, muskrats, and snakes every day at work and if I'm lucky kill see the bobcat with her babies or some weasels or an owl

They're worse than fucking vultures.
I've seen them wiggle out of the insides of white-tail deer, roadkill, with internal organs in tow. They're dirty as fuck.

These fuckers shag on my roof all the goddamn day. Cant shoot them fast enough

They're the most interesting critters around here aside from stray cats, rats and pigeons.
