Haven't seen many of these lately. I used to see them crossing the road on the way to work or hanging out around our shop area but the past few years they have become a rare site.
Removed from the "Signs of Wildlife" mission, as it doesn't fit the description. That mission is for "the bones, fossils, webs, eggs, tracks, and other signs of wildlife" and not the actual animals themselves. Thanks!
