PixlBit

I'm going to assume that's all really good?

Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction, too. Along with a squeak. I mean, you take the top off a plastic trash can and the last thing you expect to find is a stuffed bear head.

Well, let me be the first to welcome you to officially to Pixlbit. We like it here, everyone plays nice in the sandbox together. Glad you ported yourself over here. Hope you stick around. GH is on here, along with sneenlantern, epic greenman, brokenH, keegs, Cary Woodham, and a bunch of others. Some of us kept our 1up names, some of us changed 'em.

I'm actually quite fond of skunks. They're very non-aggressive and will get used to you. As long as you don't startle them, they generally won't spray. I used to rescue a lot of them from empty chip bags and tin cans when I worked at a beach park - they'd get their heads stuck and then wander around blindly trying to get free.

It's a pretty small park, only about 250 acres, but that's a lot for a coastal park in Maine. Most of the population in Maine lives on the coast, and most of the really good coastal property is privately owned by wealthy people who don't even live here year-round. But yeah, can't beat the view from my "office" 

Yeah, it's a pretty cool job most of the time. A lot of those pics were taken from my front window, too - the flickers, the turkey, and the porcupine were all in my yard. One morning after I first moved in here, I had six or seven deer right outside the window, and we're seen skunks, raccoons, foxes, and a fisher, as well as hearing the coyotes in the woods or the back field.

And look what I found for you: Amphibians of AZ

That's usually toads. All toads can secrete poison from their skins. It's why dogs foam at the mouth when they pick one up.

Yeah, a stuffed bear head wasn't what I was expected when I opened that can, lol. I knew there were toads in AZ, didn't realize there were frogs, too.

I did jump and squeak when I found it.

the thing about most wildlife is that they're usually more afraid of you than you are of them. Unless idiots feed them. Then they lose all fear of humans and all bets are off. Raccoons are the animals that I am extremely cautious of, they may look cute, but they have really nasty dispositions and tend not to be afraid of people. I don't know where you live, but my guess is that it was coyotes you saw.
