[QUOTE="Star*, post: 148823, member: 4964"] Marg, You certainly know your animals and surroundings. OH I would just LOVE to see the bandicoots and the flying fruit bats - their eyes are so soulful. And the possum? I've actually raised (more or less) with intense ungratitude 3 orphaned opossum. Currently I've been setting up at night to try to capture our bat on film. We have a punk tree that he's made a home out of and has raised a family every year. He's a brown bat - just plain - but we have an intruder - a much larger bat this year also - he has about a 1' wingspan. Light pinkish brown...slower flying than our little brown bats. I had a blue tailed skink on my window sill the other day - about 9" long, and I have some other rather large lizard (forget the name) but he's copper colored with a red belly and he is not nice at all. The cat won't even mess with him - I believe his bite would leave a mark and require stitches. We have black widows, numerous snakes - although with the heat lately it's rare to see one. And occasionally if I'm up and very quiet - a deer or two through the woods in the back. Every now and then a coyote - and one lone silver fox - he used to get chicken from the old man at the end of the road every night -here comes the fox. the old man passed and we only see the fox on rare occasions. I've seen that octopus on tv that you were talking about - beautiful really - but deadly. And rock fish - wow - there's a critter I can do without. I could also do without fire ants - do you have those there? nasty buggers. Take care. [/QUOTE]
