Groundhogs and Darwin
There are at least two big groundhogs that hangout along one of the roads I take to work. I only see them in the afternoons on the way home, though. They just nibble away at whatever is it they eat and watch the traffic go by. They seem to be smarter than the raccoons, at least in terms of not playing on the road and getting killed.
Which brings me to another thing I noticed: there aren't anymore dead raccoons on the roads, or at least not as many. I haven't noticed any new ones in a while. So, does this mean all the dumb raccoons are dead? Or have the raccoons moved away (to get ready for winter or something)?
On a side note, I'm glad to report that I haven't seen any dead rabbits. It seems little bunny foo foo is smarter than a raccoon WRT roads.
