Lol. Apparently there's an animal convention happening on my street right now.

| I turned on to my street to see deer milling about and a fox curled on the corner sidewalk, napping. Really, napping because it didn't run away just kind of looked up, yawned, and stretched. I focused on making it to my house and sprinting inside so I didn't notice any other animals. I'm sure they were there. |

I live in Arlington, in a town house, that has a small wooded area behind it. Once my darling child started going through a 5am wake up spree, I'd see SO many animals out my back window. There was a fox I'd see regularly, as well as deer. Chipmunks, birds, squirrels. It's crazy for some place that is about .25 miles from Rt 7.

| I'm glad it's an Animal Convention and not a Furries Convention. You might not want to google that. |

| I have once found a palm size tortoise crossing our street at 8am. Our neighborhood is surrounded by the woods, but I really wouldn't have expected a tortoise of all creatures ... |

| We've had deer, foxes, turkey vultures and the usual smaller varieties but not all at the same time! |

| I live in the suburbs near a regional park and a creek less than a mile from my house. I am totally convinced I peered into my wooded backyard one winter and saw two hyenas. |

Well, it is their land, you know. We humans have completely changed the local ecosystem recently, but they probably feel entitled to walking around and seeing what new crap we've put up. |

| I live in NWDC in a highly dense neighborhood and my husband regularly sees fox and deer walking up our street at night (he goes out on back deck for an occasional cigarette. In fact, he claims the fox comes by every night to get our (fenced) dogs all riled up and stands in the middle of the street and laughs at them. |

| Tons of deer and foxes in our Bethesda neighborhood as well. Very pretty, but I'm really tired of the deer snacking on my hostas. |
