Queen Luna Moon Ruler Queen Luna Moon Ruler I have two, but I've made a thread on one! I was walking by the lake with Uzamaki_Naruto vii and our mom and we saaw a turtle laying eggs where the water was the lowest! And get this, we forgot our camera! crying cry I have another one that I forgot about!!! When I went on vacation in Tampa, we went to the beach. THe lifeguard was blowing the whistle because he saw a large black figure under the water. It swam by me while I was pushing a boat and hit my leg! It was a manatee! (They don't call it Manatee County for nothing!)

Saw some interesting things on Monday.
-Another 100 or so Eastern Grey Kangaroos. Some of them were real quiet and I got within 10 meters of a few before they hopped away. A lot of joeys.
-Four Wedge-Tailed Eagles flying together. It's the first time I've seen four in a group- I assume that two must have been chicks.
- One young red fox, obviously a 2006 cub. His body was quite sleek and streamlined but his tail was this massive bottlebrush and looked completely out of proportion. XD
- One ginger rabbit and a mottled blue-white rabbit.
All in all it was a good day out.

The opossum might do well if you release him far away from neighborhoods in a forest setting. Opossums are very innocent, non-aggressive animals who usually let themselves get beat up rather than biting back. They end up as roadkill far too often. Just be very careful with it; they get stressed out easily. If you couldn't tell, I'm a big fan of them.
Little known fact: The dead-mimicking "playing possum" that these animals do is actually a sort of shock-induced, temporary coma. THey don't just fall over and lie still.
On another note, I have to retract a comment I think I made earlier. I have now actually seen a fox in the wild, not dead on the side of the road due to some careless driver. I was driving home last Saturday night from the barn when I saw this pale orange thing ahead crossing the road. I thought it was a cat until I drove by and got a look at its face and long, bushy tail. ^-^ I'm surprised at how petite foxes are, though that tail was as long as its entire body. It looked healthy, overall, and about as perfectly proportioned as the flawless cartoon versions of them.

I see many elk where I live 3nodding . Driving home a few days ago they were all over the road (crossing, not hit or anything). We often see them around our horses. I took some pictures (not very good pictures) of them in the horse pen (summer) arrow

We don't have elk where I live, but we do have whitetailed deer. Why do deer love to hang around horse pastures? They do the same here, both at the barn I visit and one near my house. They were grazing in the pasture of the barn near my home once, when a person started walking down to the horses. As I drove by, I could see all those little tails pop up as they scattered. Really cute.
Our barn's owner said that one of her horses used to mimic deer when they were in his pen. Without them, he ran like any other horse. When the deer were around, he did that bounding hop like they do. xd
