LOL
the first time i saw a raccoon in the city i was fucking startled as hell. i almost dropped my groceries and yelled. i used to see them when i lived in the boonies...possums too. and that made sense. but a fucking raccoon in the middle of the city? whuuut?
now we have coyotes in the city here in Chicago regularly. i don't even trip off them anymore. they be chillin:

One came slinking right thru my god damned backyard. Our naighborhood was one of many in FL that was like half filled in when the housing crash shut down all new developments so there were lots that still had whatever wooded growth was there previously.
I had just finished some one on one time with my pipe and went outside for a cigarette on the back porch. All of the sudden i see some brush moving and i thought it was someone's loose dog or just me being blowed.
No.
I saw a black spot on the end of the tail and 2 black ears, and then those feline eys locked with mine. Even stoned i knew what was going on. It was no more than 15 feet away and i thought i was gonna throw up. Looking back that thing was also probably thinking "oh shit whats this big muhfucka doing out here" but i wasnt interested in seeing how it would react.
SLOWLY backed inside and it just passed right on through. I never felt safe back there again.
I grew up around crack houses, gangs, and an infamous "rape park/body dump" and that fucking thing scared me more than any of that shit EVER did.

I was shocked as shit.
Funny thing is that I lived the same distance from the river in STL as I did at home, so I shouldn't have been surprised. I guess It didn't think critters like that lived in the city

i'd probably put beavers in that raccoon, woodchuck, ground hog category it's wtf worthy but i could imagine them chilling in the woods off the highway turkeys though? like wtf do turkeys chill at?

Yeadon right by Cobbs Creek park. we've seen turkeys, vultures (or some sh*t that looks like vultures), foxes (regularly), rabbits, chipmunks, raccoons... all that sh*t.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
I've seen turkeys, opossums, deer (even hit one late last year), raccoons, snakes, crows, rabbits (even hit one early last year), buzzards, etc. I even have a hawk that likes to sit on the light post in my yard every spring and summer.
