We think it's either a raccoon or something bigger, like a cougar. Yes, there are cougars around here, not the "devour young men" kind, mind you. It would be hilarious if that was what has taken residence underneath the house, though. :p

It's likely a raccoon or skunk. Cougars are usually, though not always, timid of human inhabited areas.

At least it is not a skunk (we hope). :D


Or a wild hog. They're a pest in AR. :p

Cougars?

Pensei que os leões-da-montanha da América do Norte fossem a mesma coisa que a onça-parda do Brasil - pelo menos é o que a Wikipédia anglófona diz -, e que portanto fossem perigosos. :P


Os pumas por aqui são muito semelhantes às do Brasil, eu acho. E eles podem ser perigosos, de fato. Devido às invasões urbanas, eles migraram para áreas mais arborizadas, mas às vezes eles aparecem.

Yeah. And they've made themselves scarce. The husband says he hasn't seen one since he was a little kid. But lately, you can sometimes hear them.

I wonder if it's wild turkey. There are a lot around and they're quite big.

It was interesting to travel throughout the US. You see a side of thks country many tourists don't get to see. But it feels tedious, the constant driving. And if the company is as fucked as my husband's employer was, it gets tough.

The company I work for now is pretty good about getting me home, and are better than average about the amount of home time.

How badly has their habitat been encroached upon? Where I live, for instance, there aren't generally a lot of wolves or cougars but since Idaho keeps expanding into the habitats of both of those animals, we've been seeing more of them crossing into Oregon.

A whole 30 seconds. Did you have any good dreams?

No. I did have fun prodding Dami awake out of spite on occasion, though.

Of course. I just hope I won't give the impression I'm there for the food. It'll certainly look that way.

:hug: It's true, I had a recent realization about how little time I've spent with family lately and it made me all manner of sad, and it made me wish to cancel my previous plan of spending Christmas on an island out in nowhere.
