"Of course, we never see most"

Have you ever seen a badger? They are out there too. Not very common, but can be found.

My friend, who lives in Shady Shores (N. of Dallas, almost walked into a bobcat one Sunday morning as he walked around the corner of his house. They both stopped and looked at each other and then the bobcat just walked away and across the street. He said they were about 6 feet apart.

Negative, they are native Texas critters.

Nope. We have seen beaver dams on some small streams within 50 miles of Austin. Someone said there was a mountain lion spotted in the hill country about 70 miles west of here. Guess there are lots of creatures living in the woods.

Where are you at in the Telco corridor? I'm at SBC, (Glenview & Greenville). The area where I've seen the bobcat is at the Spring Creek Nature trail at the north end of Glenville.

Bobcats in the hot tub. In Texas.

(I'm praying there's not a nipple askew...)

They do seem to know how to float...

I lived in Plano, TX for 20 years. Long before th population boom and used to see Coyotes daily. A couple of months before I moved, I came face-to-face with a Coyote while taking out the trash.

Amazing how animals adapt to urban areas.

I remember the one from Lawton, Oklahoma in 1971.

A friend of mine said he and some other people saw it jump off a motel second story railing and run off.

Heheheh... A friend of mine was Ab diving on the weekend out at Ft. Bragg last weekend.

Her friend lost his fins (it was quite rough out there that day), so she came in and they ended up not diving.

Later they found out the shark attack on the coast was 10 miles from them. A shark bit the head off of one of the divers, and the other one survived.

When I lived in the Santa Cruz Mountains some time ago, we would see Mountain Lions and their scat quite often. I was well armed to say the least...

For about a month!
