Wildlife

Let's face it. Most of Missouri is now "Bear Country".

The state of Missouri now has the totals for the firearms portion of deer season and while the final number is still large, it's way down from last year.

Missouri is known for having a wide variety of wildlife, but there's nothing I am aware of that can explain the mammoth creature tracks that a Missouri man just found in his garden.

Have you ever been driving and see something around a corner that takes your breath away and question if you're hallucinating? That happened to a man who swears he and his mother were driving around a corner in Missouri when they suddenly saw what appeared to be a gigantic creature standing next to a chicken coop.

It's not unusual for us humans to feel like we're the superior predator. However, nature sometimes reminds us that there are other creatures who are equally adept at hunting which is what happened to a Missouri bowhunter who looked down from his deer stand over the weekend.

Isn't it bizarre that there have been no confirmed mountain lion sightings in Missouri for a full 7 months? Or have there?

It's no secret that bears are becoming more common in Missouri, but how many official sightings have there really been? I found several maps that show how many and where bears have been spotted in Missouri and they're slightly terrifying.

As you might imagine, it's big news when there are mountain lion sightings in Missouri. But, it's also news when these big cats seemingly have completely disappeared from the state and that's exactly what's happened so far in 2024.

If you're planning to golf in Illinois soon especially in the southern part of the state, you might want to know that a predator might be watching. Many photos show there's a bear currently touring southern Illinois golf courses.

My children think pandas are cute, but sadly we are not allowed to have one as a pet. There's a good reason for that which applies to many other animals you cannot have as pets in Illinois or else.
