Reply to comment by moobycow in New to the city/state/country any flora or fauna to be vary of in new jersey? by adenp

Thanks a lot just googled black widow spider to see how they look. I will be wary of them. Skunks are the ones that spray very nasty liquid on you right? I thought skunks were exotic animals that lived in the amazon forest or something. I was pretty surprised to find one eating my trash the other day lol.

Ha. Skunks are all over the place around here, but they are also pretty docile and friendly, just don't startle one or try to chase them away.

Oh awesome they are cute though. Are there raccoons here? I have always wanted to see one as I have seen them in many American movies or TV shows living in dumpsters.

Yup, lots of raccoons as well. They are also super cute, really smart and have thumbs so they pretty much get in wherever they like. They are mostly out in the early to mid evening.

Also mostly chill, but if you see one acting strange or aggressive or out during the day, report that and stay away because it might have rabies.
