Its OK for you in living in Canada, you have only cuddly little Bears to worry about. In England we have fierce hedgehogs and savage rabbits roaming around. A few years ago I was badly mauled by a mouse, it even brought blood when it bit my finger.

Just yesterday I was trapped indoors for hours when squirrels invaded my garden hunting for food. Thankfully they moved on without attempting to break down my door....... this time.

mixamatosis, rabies, and the plague are common in the UK from these little bliters

they eat red meat, so they'll probably die soon anyway.

Sh*t happens.

I'm a reptile lover (yeah, queue the innuendo jokes, I don't give a sh*t) and I'd be more upset if people were out killing these beasts to be honest. Those things are practically the closest thing we have to walking dinosaurs and they should be protected. If someone gets bit, f*ck em! They shouldn't be invading their space.

That and Crocs Emerald. I think they are left to their own on that Kimodo Island right?

I think Steve O or someone was messing around with a bunch of them on a Wildboyz/Jackass episode once.

Anyway, respect nature.:)

I live in what you'd loosely describe as central London (about a mile and a half from the houses of parliament), during the last decade the increase in wildlife particularly foxes in the center of one of the worlds largest capitals has been astonishing. Nowadays if I'm up early enough I usually see two or three a week , prior to 1998 I'd NEVER seen a fox even in the countryside never mind a city center.

I don't know if if the ban on fox hunting in the uk is the cause of this sudden increase in fox sightings or if it's just part of natures conspiracy (and yes there's one of those as well   :D )

that'll be the galapagos. famous for darwin and big tortoises but not so famous for komodo dragons. funnily enough, they are commonly found on the islands of komodo in indonesia.

I thought they were on that island as well? Must have got confused with the big sea iguana's that live there.
