The hippos can really mess you up if you stand too close behind them.

I thought they were the same. These were baboons
They’re not all that dissimilar-looking. Baboons have more of a dog-like face. I wouldn’t want to have to deal with a bunch of either.
A deer can leave a scalpel-sharp open wound 6” long with its hoof.
Had three Bucks wandering together in the yard yesterday.
Hanging out together.
Maybe their gay.
I got pretty close and took pictures.
No sign of aggression, they’re antlers were in velvet.
one 4 x4 pt and two 3x3 pt.
I guess they will be fighting for does come fall.
Also saw two does each with two very small fawns.
The population has exploded in the last couple years with all these fertile deer.
They can. The weirdest thing is that afterwards they have an odd tendency to try to hide in your oven.
Live in a suburb and a couple years ago I took my 8 year old black lab on a walk and we got within 5-10 yards of a beautiful buck with a doe during the rut. Figured he was more interested in the doe then us.
Snort! Thanks for the laugh.
The turkeys around here (N Idaho) li,e to roost in the tall pine trees. They are usually 40 to 50 feet up. It’s really weird seeing those big lumbering birds fly those short distances.
Lol. That was classic!
Working clearing brush in the north field during your vacation, trust me, it’s a miserable disease.
Then you get back down to So Cal and see a doctor and they don’t even know what it is.
Finally able to prove it was Lyme Disease by a spinal tap.
Treatment is pretty easy now once it’s identified.
I lean towards Kangals and Anatolian Shephards.
They have a real vested interest in keeping any other critters off the farm (including human critters).
Big enough, tough enough, and mean enough to rip any trespasser to shreds.
My 6 boys and girls will kill anything that threatens any of the livestock and they love their mommy and daddy till hell won’t have it.
Not always, my sons pussy cat was stalking a turkey hen, cat thought she was a badass; until she wound up surrounded by about 25 wild turkeys.
The cat screamed like she was caught in a washing machine wringer until my son ran out to rescue her.
Funniest thing I ever watched.
Sling shot and marbles might be a defense
There are more deer in our coastal New Jersey county than there were in 1776. Back then, if they wandered into your yard the musket would come out and venison would be on the menu. Now the only predator they face is the automobile.
