Cute White Butt Animals aka Anetlopes
It's been great learning about our new environment. From the first day we have arrived on base we saw what we called "cute white butt animals" aka Antelope. They are everywhere on the base. Apparently they dash out in front of cars and if you honk they are stubborn and wont move. The only problem is that if you hit one you pay a HUGE fine. The speed limits on base are no higher than 30 mph. So, I think if we are on our "A" game we should be fine. Sometimes they are in pairs or sometimes they are in packs of 20 or more. A week ago we seen them on our neighbors yard fighting. They seem sweet, just hope they keep their distance. I don't think they will come after anyone unless they feel harmed. Still a lot to learn about our new furry friends. So far we have also seen wild bunnies. Looking forward to seeing what other kind of animals are here. Just hoping the spiders are not too big here.

I hit and killed a deer only going 20 mph, so keep your eyes peeled!!! It's always great to explore a new duty station and experience the wildlife.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! That stinks! The Antelope are ALL over the base here. We had never seen one before now. I guess in mating season (fall), the men sprint after the women and get hit so much more in this season. Guess they do whatever they want and can to get the women! LOL They get blinded and dont notice the cars. Gonna, be interesting to see how bad it really is during that time. I pray that we dont hit one, don't want fine, don't wanna hurt one, or the car for that matter. It would be a funny phone call to USAA.
