:lol: And what, exactly, does a chupacabra look like? Because, as far as I know, there is no such animal...

They say that it is a big animal that is bald and has very big teeth.

So many weird things are going on that I can't remember it all.

An alligator would not let someone out of their house and stayed on front porch.
A high lift had to be used to show the length of a boa that was killed.
A Red Tailed Hawk tried to get a Yorkie but owner fought it off. It had minor cuts all over it.
A gator stopped a golf game by laying on the hole.
A little dog was attacked by a hawk but it's cat made the hawk let go and fly away.
A gator and a manatee are good friends.

There are many more that I cannot remember right now.

Good Day Tampa Bay has a video of a 10 foot gator eating a 10 foot boa.
Native controlling invasive.

It has been so warm that all the snakes are coming out.

A tree service came out to cut a tree in Charles back yard. Somehow my beautiful tree in front of my house got cut down. The house really looks strange without it.

I have a dead tree trunk still standing. I was going to put a flag on it. I then noticed it was occupied by a red headed woodpecker. I was lucky to see the parent trying to get her family to jump out.I did not know they were so big. The parent came to where by beautiful tree was cut down. The woodpecker is missing my tree as much as me.


A hoard of rattle snakes was found in the craw space under a house. That would make me move.


Baby squirrels are every where. My son Charles has been feeding the ones that come to his front yard. 4 are friendly and one even comes to the door to knock when he wants food.

Oh, geez, I would HATE to have any of my trees cut down. And yes, squirrels are super smart! When my husband was working in Miami, there was one that would also knock on the sliding doors of a cafeteria that was on the ground floor with doors to the pool - and the two baby squirrels I handfed knew me and learned the routine even when they were tiny babies.

There are so many beaver stories that I can't keep up.

GDTB had a video. All traffic was stopped on a highway when a large branch crossed the road with a little beaver pulling it.

The beaver was so little compared to his branch that I had to look close to see it. Can you imagine driving along and have a big branch cross the road in front of you.


Someone with good eyesight spotted a puppy on the side of the road. He didn't even have his eyes open. He took it to the shelter. The man had picked up a cyotie puppy.
The shelter will care for it until it can be released in the same area.
