An armadillo dug a hole under my deck. I put a camera under there to monitor activities. The videos are frequently bad or confusing. I am interested in wildlife, invasive plant eradication, weather, books, and rocks.

the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.
humans have 3.
we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.
the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one.

Something caused a possum to drop a load of leaves on the way to the critter hole. This one decides to add it to the tail-full they are already carrying so we get to see the loading process.

Itch kitty. I haven’t seen this one before. May not see it again as the coyote crew has returned to the swamp across the street and a cougar has been spotted a few miles North of here.

It finally rained here last night and this poor opossum got caught out. Unfortunately the Critter Hole is already occupied by an armadillo who planned better.

I'm no David Attenborough but my observations of armadillos leads me to conclude that a fast chase equals a territorial dispute. A slow chase means the two armadillos will eventually join up to create more armadillos.
Also I need to pull that camera and clean the crap off it!

A feral kitty investigates the Critter Cam. We have a feral cat feeding station in the community to attempt to tame them enough to trap and spay/neuter. It seems hopeless because people drop off unwanted animals out here in the country all the time.
