what kind of animals live in your area?

We have raccoons, possums, groundhogs, squirrels, and bats. Those ones occasionally make their way into houses around here. Sometimes you can spot deer, but only near the river... they do not wander far into residential areas. Now and then you hear a woodpecker or an owl. Sparrows, robins, cardinals, and blue jays are common enough here. We do have some wolf spiders, those cellar dwellers are all over basements around here. Oh, we have those house centipedes as well. Ladybugs are all over the place and so are lightning bugs.

I live in the Netherlands, in the forest nearby live wild boars. They are probably the most dangerous animals here since they are very protective of their young and they will attack humans. Their young look extremely cute and they have stripes.

I took this picture today, I love hares
