Wild Things in the Neighborhood

Light On Light Through · Sep 11, 2007

A six-foot boa-constrictor was just discovered in New York City's Central Park. Officials say a pet owner likely left it there.

But I gotta say I've been seeing a lot more wildlife in the New York area the past few years. No, not wild night life - wild life - as in skunks, raccoons, deer, and even a wild turkey from time to time.

I'm used to squirrels, and maybe an occasional rabbit or chipmunk. Deer are nice - but I'd rather they not be eating up my vegetables in my back yard. And skunks ... well, who's ever happy about seeing them?

I've also heard that coyotes have been spotted not too far…
