I have lived on this property for all but about 12 years of my entire life, and I never saw either of the above two categories of wildlife ON MY PROPERTY - until this week.
If this keeps up, I'm going to start charging admission.
Guess it is actually, finally time to build a fence for our dogs.
That sounds more like armadillos to me. The pigs tend to dig a pretty big area not just a bunch of little holes. One armadillo can dig quite a few over the course of one night. As for the gators in the bay.... i have seen bunches of them, even some very big ones. I can remember one huge one they had to kill because the guy that tried to sell hot dogs at the 331 bridge had been feeding it. And a trapper tried to get another big one from under the McQuague (sic?) Bayou (E.Pt.Washinton Rd.) bridge but it just broke of all his lines. Pretty sure a "local" ended up getting that one. Have seen two rather large dead ones there also. One obviously shot and the other F&G told me probably died of old age because it was huge and the tail was still attached.Piglets,,,??? is this whats tearing up my yard? every morning it looks like someone went in an dug little holes all over the whole yard during the night!!

We are near the edge of the intracoastal waterway in Pt. Washington.
There is one HUGE gator we see regularly. He is at least 12', comes close to us on the dock, & is bigger than most kayaks & canoes coming through. Lots of smaller gators.
A snake so big it belongs in the movies swam to our lot last week.
The only thing that tortures my mind are Scorpions. One in my mailbox, in the Crate & Barrel catalog. Two more in the Master Bathroom. Now I have to do a 24-point inspection to tinkle or get dressed. I'm sure my fear is bigger than their sting, but man they're ugly.
I get the mail with meat tongs, throw it on the ground and proudly stomp on it now.
We live on the edge of paradise surrounded by national forest, so it is beautiful to see mother nature at work (minus scorpions)! The dolphins, birds, sunsets and fishing are incredible.
I'll bring the bear. My neighbor saw a very large black bear at my mailbox yesterday morning.atta boy!!!!
