ITT we list the animals we see regularly where we live

Yeah foxes are surprisingly short guys. I've seen cats take on large dogs and send the dogs yelping.

You wanna talk weird noises, the scream of a vixen is one of nature's most unnerving

squirrels round my way so fuckin' cheeky, you can walk past within literal grabbing distance and they just give you the eye, idk i feel they should be more afeared of their human overlords.

also urban foxes, generally nocturnal but i've seen a couple strolling down the street at 9am, broad daylight, no fear.

oh our possums may look cute but by god they make devil sounds, a guttural growling hiss, it's freaky.

i have monkeys in the park behind my office. just discovered this 2 days ago when i went there for a walk at lunchtime. also, i support the sentiment up thread that monkeys are assholes. i think i've already vented against them somewhere on ilx.

Deer
Woodchucks
Foxes
Herons
Buzzards AKA turkey vultures (given all the roadkill, I LIKE the idea of critters that dine on roadside carnage)
Opossums
If I drive to work through Great Falls, sometimes I see horses
