Texas Wildlife

So everything is actually bigger in Texas, except the deer. They are about the size of a great dane. They pass through our yard from time to time. I caught one one Saturday morning on our back porch. I got a few shots before it hissed at me and ran off. Notice the glowing eyes.

The bugs are bigger. This is a Rhinoceroses Beetle that flew into our garden. This explains why our grubs are so big. The centipedes are nothing to shake a stick at either.

Our Rats are bigger too. On the left we have a white tree rat. Below we have a ground rat-check out the size of this bad boy!


















And even our ant mounds are bigger. This one in our lawn is about 7 feet in diameter.





So as the late crocodile hunter said " you got to have your wits about ya" when in Texas or you might end up getting carried out of bed by some huge Texas bugs.
