Do you ever see wild animals?

View all responses

In a word: yes. Are there people who never see wild animals? If so, I find that truly fascinating. I would imagine seeing squirrels and raccoons would be at least a weekly or monthly occurrence even in an inner city. Do we include birds as ‘wild animals’? If so, then I truly cannot fathom an individual who never sees wild animals; even prisoners get yard time if they’re not in solitary. This is something I have never given thought to as I see many of them daily: deer, groundhogs, skunk, opossums, chipmunks, raccoons, and birds if we are counting them. I have probably forgotten something.
