OT The bears are awake
This morning a neighbor was walking his dogs and saw a bear walking down my driveway. I have taken my seed feeder in which will spoil Cotton's "Tv".

The raccoons were enough of a problem when I had bird feeders. I'm sorry about Cotton not getting cat TV but better safe than sorry! Jill |

Tbh, I don't know how you deal with your wildlife in the USA. You have so many dangerous things. We have one venomous snake. I've never seen one. It's not a good idea to get in the way of a red deer stag in the rut here but otherwise we are safe. I know enough to not get killed by a male red deer that is rutting./ run for your life if he come towards you. |

Boyfie says No, he does not do bears. He does foxes.\ |He never saw a bear in his life. When my mother lived in Alaska, she had a little toy poodle. She was out walking the dog one day when she saw a man in a truck parked on the other side of the street, a little way ahead of where she was walking. He was waving his arms at her. She waved back, thinking it was somebody she knew but couldn't recognize from that distance. When she was even with him, she saw that she didn't know him. He said, "There was a big. black. bear! It crossed the road right behind you. Her toy poodle hadn't seen any bear. -- Joy Unlimited Colorful Crocheted Critters Photos at http://www.PictureTrail.com/joy9 |

I've never seen a adder either and we don't get many deer around here in Lye, strutting stags or any other. I cannot imagine what it must be like to have bears walking down your drive. Judith A year or two ago someone about 25 or 30 miles from me had a bear in their hot tub. I've never seen one in the wild, except when I was on a tour in Alaska.

They have 9 of the 10 deadliest snakes, as well as crocodiles, cane toads, redback spiders and poisonous jellyfish, among other things. -- Joy Unlimited Colorful Crocheted Critters Photos at http://www.PictureTrail.com/joy9 |

The bears we have are not usually dangerous if you leave the cubs alone. They are hungry and looking for food. Bird feeders are a good sourse.

They also have a lot of other interesting non-poisonous animals. I've held a koala, a possum and a baby crocodile (with its mouth taped shut), had kangaroos eat out of my hand, and had the opportunity to pet a wombat, a dingo pup and a baby Tasmanian devil.

While both male and female platypuses are born with ankle spurs, only the male's spurs produce venom Not lethal to humans, but extremely painful. Wow!
