Urban Wildlife

I should note that, when I got off the train this morning, a large raccoon came running out of a condo parking lot and darted across Front Street.

Were you at another furry con?

I've seen raccoons in the city, too. I also saw a skunk once when my parents were driving me through north Toronto on the way to Brampton.

Toronto raccoons are not to be taken lightly.

"Eeeeeeyah - those are sure some nice garbage cans, ain't they? Would be a terrible shame was... something ta... happen to 'em, wouldn't it?"

"Hehehe yeah, you know we knew a guy who had a lockable garbage can... didn't we Lenny?"
"Yeah boss - yeah, we did."
"Yeah - shame about what happened to old Mr. Lock Up The Garbage, wasn't it?"
*sound of cracking knuckles *

Toronto Raccoons have watched too much of The Sopranos? ;)

WTF? That's not one of my LJ icons!

[halfelf.livejournal.com]

It apparently is now. :)

I deleted it, and will have to replace it when I get home.

Sort of an impromptu one, maybe!

This was deeper downtown than I've ever seen one - no greenspace around at all!

CBC's cartoon was a complete whitewash of the species!

Even that skunk was in a part of Toronto that's still pretty urban, I believe. I also saw a raccoon by Robarts Library at U of T a few years ago.

LJ has been having on and off database corruption issues that swap out icons, it's happened to me and a few others I know. If it doesn't fix itself in 24 hours (be sure to dump your cache when you check), you can email the support team and they fix it pretty quickly.

Cool :) We used to see them more often here, I haven't seen one in person in at least a year. Foxes once every week or two when I'm walking at night, but not raccoons :/

A whole nest of the suckers make themselves cozy in the drainage grates near our house. They often come out to visit on the back porch at night.

[leonard-arlotte.livejournal.com]

It's fixed now. Ain't it cute?

[savant-da-rat.livejournal.com]

Very cute yes :)

Happened to me recently, the pegasus I was expecting spontaneously metamorphosed into a bishie. Ended up deleting and reloading as well.
