more KU wildlife

[mckitterick]

You know how last night I saw a baby fox? Well, tonight I was heading home and saw two little skunks right out in front of Wescoe Hall! They're so cute: Their butts waggle from side to side and their tails jiggle and their little legs blur like weiner-dogs as they run away. Not very fast, but that tail-in-the-air attitude probably prevents most predators from following. Experienced ones, anyhoo.

One regularly sees skinks (shiny lizards) and wild kitties here, too. I love that KU is essentially a wildlife refuge.

Skunks are goofy critters all right. I think you'll see less of all the animals when the fall semester begins.

And fun! Yeah, when the students come rolling back - even at night - I'm sure the critters will waddle off into the nearby woods.
