Clip Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Found this on our patio this morning. It is apparently a Hammerhead Worm and we should have killed it as they are predator of earthworms which are beneficial to soil... They are also considered invasive. I'm glad a got a photo because with the naked eye I couldn't tell for sure if it was pushing something or if the hammer shape was it's head. It was it's head as you can see. Apparently their mouth is also their anus.? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Sand Tiger Shark's tooth-living near the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico (a bit further away for me) provides the opportunity to find Shark's Teeth. I do not seem to be very good at it as this is the only one I have found so far. Of course, my main focus is birds and other live wildlife but I'm still surprised I haven't found more. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened last year, but she lost a little more of it this past winter.

Gray fox are very different looking than the Red. We do have them in Minnesota. I got a glimpse of one a few years ago at night. They kind of remind me of a cross between a cat and a fox. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are cool looking, but I think they're more secretive than the Red fox, which is why we don't see them often, plus I think their numbers are kind of low here, at least in my area. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
