Wildlife

[KQ]

This reminded me of a similar "schoolyard standoff" in my back yard a couple years ago. Whitetails on the left, muleys on the right. Notice how the whitetail fawns look so clean and neat and the muleys are kinda scrubby looking. I actually think last year I saw a mixed breed buck near the house. Had a big muley rack but a smallish whitetail body. Did not see the tail unfortunately. I know this interbreeding has been documented, but generally they steer clear of each other. I have read that whitetails are actually the dominant ones when it comes to territory, etc. Which is surprising since mule deer are generally bigger.

Cool whale pics Floater!!

Whitetail fawns are adorable!

I've heard the same about Whitetails being dominant and driving out the Muleys but my Muley herds number in the dozens and are currently on the rise while my Whitetails hold steady at 7. By far I see more Muleys more often than Whitetail.

Ermines are cute. And also very quick.

Not sure if animals in a zoo really count as wildlife, but this was pretty amazing:

"A bobcat that attacked a golfer in Connecticut was beaten off by golf clubs before environmental police tracked itdown and killed it, authorities said.

The bobcat attacked the golfer at about 8:30 a.m. Thursday on the Mohegan Sun Golf Course in Sprague, according to the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. General manager Philip Krick Jr. told The Day of New London a foursome was on the seventh hole when the cat jumped on one man’s back. Krick said the man in his 60s and another golfer used their clubs to beat the cat away."

Pretty bold cat--serious size discrepancy between predator and prey. Maybe kittens nearby? I know nothing about bobcats. Too bad they killed it.

[bodywhomper]

Agree. And hopefully it was the actually perpetrator that they killed

On second thought I'm not surprised. When I was a kid our Siamese jumped on my back and scratched the hell of me when my mom started the vacuum cleaner. Maybe the groundskeeper had just started his lawnmower.

Found this guy at the barn this morning when I went down to feed. Not a freakin' clue where he came from as there are no close irrigation ditches and the river is almost a quarter mile away.

Loaded him up into a cat carrier and took him the river. Released him into an old disused irrigation inlet where the water is still and there are logs, fish and bugs for him. He was so amazingly happy when he slid into the water! He was swimming circles, diving, coming up for air and diving again. You could almost hear him saying "I'M FREE!"

Only got a blurry pic of two, but was out and about near the gravellies/centennials/snowcrest and on Sunday alone saw 7 moose, 3 griz, a badger, a coyote, elk, deer, and a fuckton of speed goats(and of course various birds esp near red rocks). Also watched through the binocs as the sow griz and two Cubs stalked a cow moose and calf. Paralled them from cover of the other side of creek/brush but mom stood her ground and the bears kept moving. Looked to be very healthy cubs. Pretty much only human we saw was on a mtb and unknowingly passed with a few hundred yards of the bears/moose.
