mackem 29,522 Posted June 15, 2024 Report Share Posted June 15, 2024 Wildlife moves into cities or cities expand to encroach on wildlife,the past year I have seen vultures,lots of species of BOP’s coyote,fox,racoon,skunk,reptiles,most cities have wildlife in number.

mitre 281 Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 They in the local park by us flying around you hear them then you see them time to time they from Asia originally now they settled in over here you don't hear them talking yet if they do It would be a lot of swearing and rubbish talk from the locals that use the park Quote Link to post Share on other sites
