In the wild: Animals edition

Beautiful creatures called Eastern Box Turtles. I put them back where we found them after taking a few quick photos.

@Oaktavia love the eyes on the top dude

[Oaktavia]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot I've seen box turtles with red and/or pink eyes like that. So cool.

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Beautiful!

@goosehd Good chance of seeing a badger after dark when you are in Gosport

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Soooo many hummingbirds here, I watch them all day long. I’ve seen them drinking from the flowers in the garden, but haven’t been stealth enough yet to snap that pic….

[goosehd]

@Giles I hope badgers are not a euphemism for people hanging out at the public loo’s you previously mentioned.

@Oaktavia Yea we need more Box Turtles in this world.

[Oaktavia]

@twin I absolutely agree with that.

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot that first pic is amazing! looks like a selfie with your spirit animal

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@flannel-slut it 100% is, homie! I was told white people can’t have them, but if I could….

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot I'd probably have kidnapped one of the quokkas...

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@tody ha! I’m sure some have tried - they are adorable

I put an old trail camera in the backyard a few weeks ago after our dog, Boone, got sprayed by a skunk for the second time this summer. Got these pics yesterday of what I’m pretty sure is a bobcat. Apologies for the grainy images. Kind of amazing considering we live in the “city”.
