Woodland Creatures

As I only recently moved out here to the woods from Abu Dhabi, I'm still sometimes slightly taken aback when I suddenly encounter the raccoons, possum, squirrel, deer, and other animals. In Abu Dhabi I generally only come across people (thousands every day), stray cats that loiter around the dumpsters, cockroaches, and the occasional dead alley rat (killed, I believe, by paid city workers who scatter poison around the city's nooks and crannies).
