    North American river otter. I love otters. They’re adorable killers.

    The coyotes.

    They’re like a lullaby every night. Never gets old.

    When they get a rabbit or squirrel it can a bit wild, though. But no complaints.

    Black bears. They’re just so cute and hilarious (from a distance). I love all bears, but black bears are my favorites.

    American Alligators. Obviously they’re vicious predators but they’re also dopey swamp puppies, way funnier than crocodile. I love mountain lions too, they’re really cute.

    Opossums (commonly called possums). They are the only marsupial found in North America. They are adorable little guys. I love seeing the mamas carrying their full brood on their backs. We had a black bear around our yard last year and an injured possum came up on my porch seeking shelter. I let her in my house and tended her little foot (he had a splinter I removed). Se stayed for a full day before heading out and finding herself a safe spot under my porch that the bear won’t be able to reach. I see her often with her brood.

    Wolves. There is nothing like the haunting sound of a solo howl, followed by the responding howl of the pack. It touches your soul.
