Thread: Better than going to the zoo!

A few months back I posted pictures of a mama possum that had set up housekeeping under the hood of my son's old Duster. You hear other old geezers say that nothing much surprises them anymore, but I have to say that critter really got my attention!

A lot of people live around here (Fort Worth/Dallas area) but that doesn't bother the wildlife a bit. On our little one-acre lot we have also seen the usual stuff, like squirrels, gophers, rabbits, and raccoons. Add to that armadillos, coyotes, and a variety of snakes.

But how about this? We have occasionally caught a glimpse of a fox zipping across the road at night so we knew they were around here, but this mama and two kits moved in under the back porch. They lounge around out there like they own the place. I have gotten to within ten feet of her and she just looks bored with the situation. In the picture the big one and one little one are plainly visible. The other one is partially hidden but it's there.

But we aren't bothered by rats. I think I know where they went!
