Iβll take a rattlesnake over a black mamba or any other highly venomous snake that doesnβt forewarn you of your close proximity.

Havenβt had much run ins with black bears.. (I highly doubt you guys are talking about grizzlies) But solo hiking in the Adirondacks I researched the shit out of them, they are like big raccoons in disposition from what I understand. Pretty much you put up a fight in a worst case scenario and you are definitely walking away.

Black bears almost always run away, mothers with cubs being the exception. Rattlers rarely result in a fatal bite, and if you get bit by one it was DEFINITELY your fault. Even when I'm in griz territory I'm not afraid, I always carry in danger areas. There's no terrestrial animal in this world that can out fight a semi-auto .30-06.
The only real danger we face in north America is each other, I'm terrified of shopping thanks to multiple daily mass shootings.

That bear is tiny, size of a family dog. They're harmless at that size.

2 year old dude bear hanging in my yard lately. He's friendly.
The yote horde has been around lately. First time I've seen them this far in. The coons are extra careful lately. Skunks are nowhere to be found. It's been dry and the deer and all the critters are eating stuff they normally don't. Yotes are just taking advantage of the limited water by hunting the remaining creeks. Fewer watering holes means more prey at each one.

That's cool. How long do bears live?
Also racoons I have to meet one. They seem like dogs so cute. Probs catch rabies off one but oh well :P

I love them. It is a shame the way they are portrayed by modern society. We could live with them as fully integrated parts of our world and they would be nothing but benefit to our existence. Wonderful little people.

Gotta have that washing bowl next to the food bowl! Raccoons are fond of washing their food. A couple of decades ago when my friends and I were getting drunk we heard a commotion out back and all peeked through the windows to see hat was going on. Five raccoons were working as a team in the pear tree. Two were picking and dropping fruit, two were washing them in a kiddy pool under the tree, and one was stacking the clean ones. We left them alone to do their business. They seem to understand that we on't fuck with them if they leave the trash and chickens alone, smart little bandit bears

Wow that snake is cool and the turtle doesn't seem phased... Beautiful.
Raccoons have extra sensory perception through their hands when their skin is wet. Constantly wetting their hands and feet primes their cells and they gather exponential information through their membranes.
