Where the wild things are....

Where are the wild things? Well..... They're in your back yard of course!

I thought I would do a bit today about one of my coworkers whose neighbor had a momma Bobcat move into her yard. She had a pair of kits whom she's raised in this persons yard. Talk about an interesting co-habitation arrangement! Be sure to read my small warnings at the end. And yes this is in New Mexico.

Here are some pictures of them:

Now, that being shown or said, remember if you are lucky enough to share your yard, or living space with wild animals, please remember they are wild, no matter how inquisitive they might care to be with you and your home or space. And being wild they deserve the respect shown to them for all wild life, let them be, let them care for themselves, give them space and admire them from afar or through your camera lens. Everyone will be happier that way. Once you "befriend" a wild animal, they have lost their fear and respect of us, and that makes them a danger to us, and them a target for abuse and torment.
