Backyard Animals

So many animals roam my 2 acre lot. We have a camera that records motion and we see interesting stuff every day. This thread is to keep track of and share all the animals. Feel free to post some interesting pictures of your backyard creatures if you have some!

First, here is a gang of raccoons.

that's cool! we had racoons a few times, unfortunately we had to shoot them though because they we a threat to our hens.

I'm definitely aware they are extremely dangerous to chickens, and unfortunately I'm not allowed to shoot them here. For now all I can do is watch their videos.

Here's another animal I saw last night - a strangely long and big cat - I'm sure it's either a lost or a stray cat because it doesn't have a bobbed tail which our bobcats here have.
