[Texas Girl]

has anyone noticed a change in animal behavior. I live in east tx, the deer are moving already and we don't normaly see this until late fall, snakes are getting onto the roads and laying there,different things. also we are having alot of sink holes showing up, what i'm getting at is that i think we are in for a surprise earth quake in tx. i do know that the animals pick up on this type of things.The EARTH is moaning and groaning, moving and shaking.
I'm convinced we will be going home soon in the rapture:yeah
MARANTHA......come Lord Jesus::pray

Monster carnivorous mice overrun British Island (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1992853/Monster-carnivorous-mice-overrun-Gough-Island.html)

The mice of Gough Island have grown to two or even three times the size of an ordinary house mouse.

They have developed from eating insects and seeds and are now devouring young birds, including albatross chicks, in huge numbers.

Birds on the island had been used to having no predators and are unable to fend off the mice which attack in groups at night.
Gough Island is regarded as one of the most important seabird colonies in the world.

It is the size of Guenrsey and is thought to have around 700,000 mice all descended from a few that escaped from on a whaling boat.

Albatross chicks weigh up to 10kg and the mice weigh only 35g but together they are able to kill and eat the birds.

RSPB scientist Dr Geoff Hilton said: "It's like a tabby cat attacking a hippopotamus."

Conservation organisation Birdlife International says the mice are threatening several bird species to the point of extinction.

The RSPB wants to use helicopters to drop thousands of tonnes of mouse poison on the island in an operation that would cost £2.6 million.

I also live in East Texas and this morning I saw the body of a doe alongside the road, where she obviously had been hit by a car or truck. Very unusual to see deer out along a busy FM road. Yesterday afternoon, we saw an armadillo and they are strictly nocturnal. My yard has evidence of that as they've been digging in it :hairout You can't walk around it without looking down to keep from stepping into one as some of them are huge. Prior to last year, they've stayed away from the house. I heard where a bobcat grabbed a young boy and his Dad was able to scare it off. The coyote attack on the toddlers was really shocking as usually they avoid humans at all costs. I've just had this sense of expectation all year, and I've never had this feeling before. I can sit on the deck at night, and it's like all creation is holding it's breath~~~that's the only way I can explain it.
God bless y'all and remember our troops this Memorial Day and their sacrifices over the years to give us the freedoms we enjoy:hug

I was driving to work on Thursday a busy part of town and I saw a pygmy goat running across the street into a car parking lot, does that count.


If I can count the baby ostrich we saw running down the side of the highway 2 weeks ago then yes. :lol2

Made me think about the 4 foot tall turkey that was preventing a woman from getting into her car, that I saw when driving to work...she was laughing and trying to make the thing "shoo", but it wasn't interested. 4 foot tall turkeys keeping people from entering their car! :shocked

:lol2 ...okay, okay, it's not a sign of the times, but I saw it...

:aha Armadillos are not the brightest creatures one the earth. We see them in the daytime all the time but only in areas where there is not much animal or human traffic. They are very near sighted and mainly sense vibrations thru the ground when something approaches them. To trap them get a live trap and 2 long boards. Set the boards up in a V place the trap at the bottom of the V. Set them up in an area where they have been digging. You need no bait in the trap. USE EXTREME CAUTION when moving the trap with an armadillo in it. They are heavy and have wicked claws. Very seldom will an armadillo roll up in a ball and lay there THEY WILL FIGHT TO GET FREE.:thumb

This story was on the go about 3 years ago - Albatross chicks attacked by mice (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4708899.stm)

Rodents are a continual threat to birds on the islands.
