Summer is on the way, but you can’t be sure anymore what that means, but probably not what it meant when you were growing up.
The thing about rabbits is that they evolved to reproduce in such large numbers because they were a prey animal in their natural environment. Australia doesn’t have the native predators to control the population, so it exploded. We have the same problem with deer in the northeastern US. We killed the natural predators, and then people stopped deer hunting, so there is a surplus of deer.
Actually I would like to have a few geckos inside the house, but they usually end up as ‘cat toys’. 🙁
]]>Very sad to hear about the kitty paintedjaguar! I’ve always hated loosing my furry friends over the years. Always hated that they have such short lives. 🙁
It’s amazing how fast creatures introduced into new places will breed to fill them! Did you know our rabbit plague started with just 24 Rabbits??! Introduced by a wealthy Brit for sport. They grew to a population of 10 billion in 67 years! 😮 Once I learned that, I truly understood the phrase “breeding like rabbits”!
]]>Sorry to hear about your furry friend, PJ. They are certainly nice to add warmth when it gets cold. The geckos were probably escaped pets, but they have spread all along the northern Gulf Coast. They hunt around lights and lunch on the bugs that are attracted. I agree that the anoles don’t seem to be as prevalent as earlier.
]]>They seem to like hanging out around window and door frames, and sometimes the smaller ones make their way inside. I keep finding tiny versions trapped in the litter box, unable to climb back out (why do they go in?). No doubt I’ve saved several from becoming kitty snacks.
