    I have flying squirrels in my attic. Removed 7 in the last couple months. In the past couple years I've found my hunting boots full of acorns, hunting tote's packed with acorns. Wife opened a closet up stairs and a flying squirrel was sitting on the shelf looking at her. I used 4 the birds bird repellant caulking around where I suspect they are getting in. Traps have remained empty for the last two weeks. Two more weeks and I'm sealing the hole with metal. If it continues after that we'll be installing strobe lights in the attic.

    My in-law's neighbor has a couple albino squirrels in their woods. Snow white from nose to tip of tail, pretty cool seeing them.

    Many sea snakes in Persian Gulf on first deployment, 1986 on USS LUCE (DDG 38). The CO liked to keep a .45 and M14 loaded on the bridge wings for sea snake plinking.

    A bobcat ran in front of my car about 5 years ago during a light snow in northern Monroe County. I captured it on a trail cam a few nights later.

    White squirrels in Olney, IL.

    Banana Rats and Cuban Rock Iguanas in Guantanamo, Cuba.

    Black squirrels in Michigan.
    Wife looked out the kitchen window early AM and spotted 2 coyotes trotting across our backyard. We live in the city. A week later she saw a raccoon being followed by a possum.
    We were hiking in a city park when a raccoon came straight at us like a bat out of hell, being chased by a doe.
    Last spring you might remember seeing on the news them catching a 17' python in Big Cypress Preserve just NW of the Everglades. It was 3 days after I had been kayaking the Turner River about 1000 yards from there. I didn't see any snakes, but I met about 10 gators within 15' of me.
