our home backs up to Leon Creek --- we have seen deer and skunks --- you can sometimes hear what sounds like coyotes howling, but we have never seen them, so it may be some creative dogs...

we have also had an armadillo tear up our backyard for a number of nights in a row --- he was digging for grubs and did leave tons of holes in our yard --- i tried throwing a stick at it once to get it to shoo away and it looked up at me and kept on digging --- it was not very impressed by my stick throwing abilities

we have also had numerous snakes in our back yard --- mostly garden snakes but we did have 2 coral snakes once --- they were intertwined, mating, up by our landscaping stones and dh never saw them --- he was doing yardwork and sliced thru them with the weed eater --- 2 days later i was out back with the kids and i found them --- i looked up the colors on the internet and it was the right pattern --- red touching yellow, so they were definately coral snakes ---

we get tons of rabbits that come in the yard at night from the creek ---

and of course the infamous scorpions --- i got stung once by a scorpion that was hiding under the lip of a pot i was trying to move --- it stung me on the tip of my index finger, right at my nerve endings....O M G!!! --- it was the most painful thing i had ever felt, it hurt more than labor...it was insane, i don't ever wish that on anyone...

And here is a website that explains the difference between a cougar and the "cougars" we were joking about;

(oh wait, I probably shouldn't post it here, you should google it )

Here's the article on the hog we had in WC:

"Although initial reports indicated that a mountain lion may have been
sighted at Brooks City-Base, Wildlife Biologists from the Texas Parks &
Wildlife Department determined from a still shot taken from video
surveillance footage that the animal in question was in fact a large feral
house cat. According to the biologist, the cat's characteristics were
inconsistent with those of a mountain lion and that it was in a large house
cat."

I thought it was just probably a bobcat at first. We always saw them down in Karnes County.
