Wild Things

Here's the latest best-of from our game camera.

First is a feral pig (Sus scrofa). While they are invasive and cause a lot of damage to the environment, I can't help but admire what a magnificent animal this one is. He's large and looks to be in excellent health with a thick winter coat. I guess, trying to see the bright side, it means our property is in good shape too, to supply him with enough nutrition to look the way he does. I'm still going to try to get rid of him!

Next is a gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus). They're very elusive. The game camera has caught them before, but never as clearly. Usually, they're a blur as they run through the frame.

Finally, a skunk. It's a striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis). This one is very close to the camera and his head is out of frame.
