I know is funny now, but I am sure that was not too funny then. I am glad didn't bite. I love to see them in pictures but not face to face.
That is so funny. We have a lot of coons but none of them have taken us by surprise. They can get rather large. I was chased by a Blue Racer snake one time and I thought was going to have a heart attack. It chased me up our deck steps and I finally got into the house. It fans out like a Cobra snake. Thank goodness they are not poison. The farmers said if I would have chased it, it would have left. Duh, I never dreamed of chasing a snake, running away is what I had in mind. Lots of laughs now, but not then. I hate snakes. Hugs, Judy
Now a snake..I would have gone a lot farther away than just outside the barn! Those raccoons last year ate our little bluebirds right out of the nest! Pulled the nest out of the box & tore it all up. Yet, can't stand to kill any of them. Trying to find ways to keep them away from the bird boxes on the poles.
