When I went to college in Maine, I once smelled something pretty bad in the dorm. My friends from small town Massachusetts told me it's the smell of a skunk. Never smelled a skunk anywhere near where I live.
That's strange. I live in Boston and see skunks all the time. I literally have to jump out of their way on my nightly runs. Must be a regional thing...
Deer, woodchucks, chipmunks, rabbits, squirrels (both gray and red), all manner of birds, garter snakes, toads, bats, and one time we had an opossum (very strange).
Despite there being an abundance of rabbits, mockingbirds, deer, groundhogs, turtles, bluebirds, herons, and swallows in the town, have never seen them in the trees, on the ground or near the pond in the back of my apartment complex.

I had no idea skunks were that common in boston. Ive never seen a skunk in my life lol
If you could, name the city or town your in also.
Pics would be great!
What I have in my backyard are squirrels, ground hogs, all sorts of birds, stray cats, an occasional Rabbit, and once I've seen a Racoon and a Skunk.
Too urban for Deer.
We feed wild birds so... birds, squirrels racoons, possums, snakes, lizards and geckos, frogs, ....we have had parrots...2 pelicans and hawks are here to hunt the other birds. We live in downtown Sarasota...near the Bay and Selby Gardens.
Aside from people's pets, raccoon, skunk, squirrels, deer and ever so often I hear of a mountain lion. But I doubt it cause we're pretty far down the hilltop for a mountain lion-but you never know.
Location: Concrete jungle where dreams are made of.

I didn't see a deer or cow until I went 150 miles upstate for hockey once. The other teams thought it was so funny how we pulled over at a farm near the rink to look at the cows, lol. We aren't that country here.
tons and tons of birds, rabbits, possums, racoons, frogs, turtles, hawks and vultures, snakes, not at this house but at my old one were lizards and salamanders.
Oh and squirrels, bats and lots and lots of cave crickets LOL
We saw cows in Mattituck when we went to our older daughter's soccer games. Years ago my husband used to go deer hunting in eastern LI. Pine Barrens? I have read in the past that deer have been know to come on to people's back yard's in the Hamptons area.
My 72 year old neighbor was out in the yard one night at 3am naked, waving a machete in the air, and holding a bottle of Kentucky Bourbon. I would consider that a strange animal. He's gone now - in a nice padded room.
Aside from that, Possums, and Squirrels, with an occasional snake.
