I've seen a lot of foxes in my neck of the woods recently. Not sure if they're more comfortable around humans or what.

Also popping up in this part of the world: armadillos. 4 years ago, they were 150 miles south of here...now they're just outside of the metro area. And getting killed...and fucking up cars.

Foxes are urbanizing like crazy all over the world. So are coyotes (Central Park in NY, downtown Tucson, San Diego, just to name a few), raccoons, bears (Google for stories about bears up trees in places like Washington, DC), and cougars (someone got a pic of one on a backyard fence with the Hollywood sign in the background recently). All are good reasons to keep cats indoors and small dogs & kids under careful supervision!

I think foxes are among the few natural predators of armadillos. Perhaps some cause and affect going on there.

Texas speed bumps.

I've seen a handfull of them since moving to NC but never had one interested in me before. It was young and I had Tim, who was roughly the same size as the fox, with me so I wonder if that had something to do with it? Either way it was spooky for me. All the non docile animals just leave me be, k? Lol

When I lived in Springfield, MO, I had a 2-week period where two of my drivers totaled their cars by hitting deer, and a third tore up a fender running over an armadillo.

We don't have many deer here in KC, but they are a regular problem in STL (where I'm from)...they're hanging out in the City now on occasion.

yeah, that is a little weird, it worked for a little while but now is garbage.

I was just amused by the wordplay with vets and immigrants, otherwise I'd've posted it in politics/not at all

This one seems to work right now : http://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37086578
