Oh, I don't know about the eyes. Huh. Weird thing about that was that I didn't realize there were two of them until I saw the second pair of eyes. Totally thought it was one lonely guy just thinkin' bout things.

raccoons are disgusting h8 those gross dudes creeping around all hunchbacked making weird nosies, cats r way too big to be eaten by a fox

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

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.
