There's a clip on 'Funniest Videos' where children are getting to know a white rat(?) when something takes it.
It happens so suddenly that I couldn't see if the rodent WAS a rat, and the predator was so fast it had to be a falcon. A blur is all you see.

A kingfisher (bird) took all 'my' little skinks last year. I'm building them a rockery this year.
(The (bird) because I think there's a mustelidae called a kingfisher.)

Very true LH and Gnu you are so right, but I was gonna catch him and throw him in the big pound before the freeze .. Oh well ... crows gotta live to.

A few years ago one of the coyotes was in the back yard by the fence. I always let the wiener dogs out with Gus my 130 lb lab newfie like critter. His fur was up and showing his teeth ..

Bummer, Dan......earlier this year I went to use the toilet in our bedroom ensuite bathroom, lifted the lid and went to sit down.....(too much information I know, but bear with me).....when something made me look into the bowl and there was a big green tree frog, half in and half out of water, grinning up at me. I shut the lid very quickly and called for Himself who scooped out the frog and took it outside to join its friends. We have frogs here in summer, they have a favourite spot in the garden.

Just imagine if you were sitting peacefully, minding your own business, doing what you need to do, and a cold clammy little froggy hand reached up and tapped you on your bare nether regions.......

When wild animals overcome their fear of humans, it seems like they lose some of their natural fear of other predators as well. Thy're not smart enough to know that just because it turns out people don't want to eat 'em after all, the same doesn't hold for crows, snakes, or even the family cat.

There are a lot of frogs out there too, so maybe you can find another froggie friend soon.

When I was a kid, I once raised a tadpole in the goldfish tank, and it did well eating fish food as it gradually grew legs and began to take on the recognizable features of a frog. Presently it was ready to move on into full frog existence, so I removed it from the tank and put it into the local pond where it seemed to fit in fine with the other young frogs. I hope it lived a successful life there (in frog terms).

Let me tell you a story about Max the ferret. My partner Dennis had this little guy and he was a great pet. He travelled in his pocket and was "hired" (with cat food and mayonnaise as his salary) to exterminate rodents in a kitchen of a logging camp in Alaska. Well, living in the wilds of Alaska, there are many critters, including bears, eagles, otters, wolverines, ravens, etc. Well, it just so happens that near by there lived an eagle named Bernie. One day while playing in the yard, Max got scooped up by Mrs. Bernie, and there ends the tale of Max. (sorry for him being your name sake, Max) He got flying lessons, and became dinner for the eaglets.

Dan, last week I had two squirrels in my garden, they'd dance from tree to tree all around the place...They've been here since I moved in and I'd sit and watch them from my outside staircase, which is high up in line with the trees almost..so they never even knew I was there...

Last week I found one of them dead on the grass...I was so upset...I buried him and filled his grave up with geranium petals..crying my eyes out as I did so...

The next morning his little buddy was on patio, still warm....

They now lie in their Geranium Grave together, friends in the after-life too...

I felt absolutely gutted for days, still do...

This was THEIR garden, I merely had the honour of sharing it with them....

The garden feels so empty now, even though the birds are still there..Without Nutty and Nutkin it's lost its sparkle and its magic.......

Red squirrels actually have an average lifespan of about 3 years, so maybe they just lived a long, natural life. Maybe they ate some bad nuts, who knows?

I get the big grey ones here, and they're fun to watch when you don't have a little bit of PTSD because one once ate a hole in your roof and lived in your attic for years, while laughing at your lame attempts to gently relocate and/or slaughter him, then you go up and he's got a girlfriend or she's got a boyfriend. I once found a newborn squirrel that fell from the eaves onto my porch in August. (Didn't make it.) They're not supposed to have babies in August, and they're not supposed to do it in a place as hot as my attic in August!

So, I'm sorry about your squirrels. I still remember how cute I thought they were, back before they ate my house.

Dan, I had a froggy resident in a little wading pool I planted in my yard. A leopard frog moved in that day, and did well for about a year. One night, a raccoon grabbed hold of his back right foot, and Leopard pulled free, minus one foot.

When I found him the next morning he was in bad shape. I wrapped him in a damp towel with that ragged leg poking out one end of the roll, and his nose at the other. A friend held the frogroll steady so I could take a close look at the damage.

It took a sharp pair of scissors, a needle, and some effort, but I managed to trim the rsgged skin and stitch a flap of skin over ihs leg stump. Dang, frog skin is some tough!

That frog and his slightly altered foot arrangement continued visiting my little faux pond for another two years.

Frogs have been known to eat hummingbirds. Maybe it was the frog's karma?

Neat frog story got related to me tonight when I took an old friend out to dinner who I hadn't seen for awhile. Said friend had raised a couple of tree frogs he had grabbed from his backyard when they were tiny. This summer he grabbed another couple of tree frogs to raise and observe, and as they are doing well in the aquarium, he decided earlier in the summer to liberate the first two. One of them frequents the water garden. (He knows it is one of the frogs he raised because, due to the constant good diet of crickets they got in captivity, they grew to a bit larger size than tree frogs in the wild achieve.) Two weeks ago he was sitting on the steps of his deck, near the water garden, and the tree frog jumped down onto the ground, and hopped toward him. To his amazement, the frog hopped up the steps and then onto his leg, and sat there looking up at him for quite a long time before finally turning and heading back into the yard and up into a tree.

His best guess is the frog recognized him by sight or smell as the source of live crickets tumbling into the his previous aquarium home at regular intervals.

I confess. Don't waterboard me. In fact, I not only put the frog there, I threw the bomb at the Haymarket Riot, shot Duke Ferdinand, flew the final mission over Japanese skies, kidnapped the Lindbergh baby, and incited the Cultural Revolution.

I noticed on the plastic frog that he was packing a .40 glock ... that leads me to believe that it was Rap ... you sly devil you

I see Rap confessed 30 minutes before he was accused.

so last night I go out to my genuine plastic fountain and there it was. A new frog, (nice looking one too) and two gold fish, and a can of gold fish food. Note from my doc buddie. Don't jump out of planes, fish instead LOL

Well since his farm pond has gold fish and frogs, I figured out before the note where they came from. Nice fat fish too

I hope he put some BBQ sauce on it first ... I had a hamster once. It was the meanest little critter you ever seen. It would come over to you in its little cage all nice and sweet, then bite ya right on the finger when you tried to pick him up. Thing lived for 4 years which is pretty long for a hamster

The trick to having frogs and fish is to have a big enough pond that you don't give a damn if the birds eat a few. The local great blue herons and belted kingfishers think of my pond as an all-you-can-eat buffet.
