Grew up in the city. "Many" moons later I am a mere 12 miles away. Even as a teenager, this was farmland. Now it is overgrown suburb. I live less than a half mile from a major interstate (5+ lanes in ea direction). When I moved here I never expected to see *any* wildlife. Now deer walk through my yard and look at me like "what?".
Skunks, possum, raccoon, coyote.
A bear was reported about a 1/2 mile south of me.
One morning a deer just rammed my car.
