Doane Wildlife

Sooo... there are some interesting critters living on campus!

First there are the squirrels. They are EVERYWHERE!  Megan and I named them all Chester. They're pretty cute actually. The other day I saw a pair of them chasing each other around.  They're all getting ready for winter.

Then the swans. They are ninja swans. Do not mess with the ninja swans. They know if you are talking about them. They will attack. You might get scars. But they are battle trophies to be worn proudly.

Turtles! They like to sun themselves on the rocks in the pond. So cute and fun to see.

Snakes... seen a few of these guys around too, but nothing too interesting. Just your garden variety garden snakes. =D

I saved a small defenseless rodent yesterday. He was just sitting on the corner of the lawn very near the sidewalk, and I didn't want him to get stepped on or mowed over, so I moved him (with the use of a box) to the little wooded area just outside Hansen. I felt pretty good about that.

And finally: the bears. Watch out for the bears. If you are attacked by a bear, you will die, there is no other possible outcome. The bears could be hiding anywhere, especially in the trees. The drop bears are dangerous. They will drop onto unsuspecting, unaccompanied students.  Watch out for bear spies.  Always travel in groups. Trust no one.
