    Well, I would specifically go hike and ideally camp(that’s not as simple as it is in the US) in more remote areas where they and other wildlife is. I still think it’s awesome that you’ve seen any. They seem so tiny and vulnerable. I’m scared they won’t be around much longer.

    Roadkill sucks but where I live, roads create entire ecosystems. The water runoff creates more vegetation, which brings insects, which brings small animals, which brings big animals. I know roads that support eagles and hawks that otherwise would not exist in the area.


  • Angry wasn’t the correct word for what I was trying to describe. Unafraid is more accurate. I’m used to things being very afraid of other animals because there’s a lot of them that might be looking to eat you. The only animals I’ve encountered like that are moles because they literally cannot see. There are foxes, large birds, plenty of things that I feel would just exterminate them but I guess there’s plenty of other food that the little spikey balls aren’t worth it. Coyotes here with eat literally anything. I’ve had them start coming towards wondering if I can be food. They would eat hedgehogs without hesitation. They eat porcupines which are angry and MUCH bigger and spikier.

    Thank you for sharing hedgehog pic. It’s so cute. I’m jealous.

    My cat loves belly rubs and always comes to get some as soon as I wake up. She sleeps on the chair because I turn to much in my sleep. But as soon as I wake up she starts meowing and runs over for cuddles. Sometimes I pretend I’m still asleep because I need a few minutes before she needs her attention.



  • I’ve always wanted to go to the uk to see hedge hogs. In the US they exotic pets and illegal in some states. Over there they just walk around people’s yards being hedgehogs. They’re so cute and spikey and angry. In the US the yard creatures like raccoons will steal your shit and bite you. Bears will straight up kill you. Rattle snakes get so big they’re scary. Meanwhile in England they’re fighting with pointy hamsters.







  • I 100% reintroduction of wolves. They are an essential part of the ecosystem.

    But you remember that other animal that there were millions of before we showed up and functionally exterminated? I think they need to be reintroduced, but until then, cows are perfectly fine animals to fill that role of large grazing herbivore.

    What if there was an incentive to raise cattle to intentionally be released into wolf areas for them to hunt? Or, the bison that should be here. Pay me enough to live comfortably, and I’ll raise bison with the sole intention of releasing them.
