You can count that bobcat as CP Otter, who is the rarest sighting of them all.

These figures are far higher than I would have expected. I would have assumed that most of these were pretty rare.

Not unless they're importing them from northern Asia. According to Planet Earth they're extremely rare to see even in their natural habitat; they live on plains and have incredible scent, they'll bolt as soon as they smell you 10 miles off.

Fairly common in Texas, but armadillos are fascinating critters, every time I see one I'm amazed. Little tanks that act like giant insects scuttling around. People hit them on the highways all the time, thatd do some serious damage because they are so dense.

Brown Recluse? Tarantula? Coyote? Scorpion? These are all VERY common in human inhabited areas. If you live in the west, black bears are so common that they are a nuisance. |

I agree, I counted 23. I've been 3' from a black bear twice and 20 yards from a grizzly twice. I don't want to do either again. Last weekend, my buddy and I almost hit a moose on our motorcycles. They blend in with night pretty good until you're right on them.

A moose on a narrow trail on snow machines is sketchier for me than a black bear. The most nervous I have been was walking up on a fresh cougar kill while elk hunting. I knew it was within 50 yards of me and I couldn't see it. The doe was still warm and the blood wasn't coagulated yet. Definitely a gtfo moment. |

When I tracked.and climbed to the summit of West Spanish Peak in Colorado high up in the mountains their varmints called Marmot. They are cool little critters maybe size of racoon but much nicer.
Rain Man failed to put Marmot on his list I am disappoint since he lives in Colorado. |
