“This is the first time I’m seeing a white squirrel in Trinidad. This one was on Owen PL NE. It was cute and not really afraid of me until I got too close.”

“Spotted this hawk dining on an unlucky squirrel tonight in front of the Lincoln Memorial. You can see the squirrel is literally dangling off the lamppost. Credit goes to my running buddy Philip for spotting the scene.”
Ed. Note: when somebody sends me a White Whale in this situation one day, well, it’s gonna be a very tough day.

“Dear PoPville,
As seen at 1pm on Delafield and 8th st NW, this creature was NOT a cat without a tail and was trying to go up the stairs to houses.
Beaver with a fuzzy tail?
Honey badger misplaced?
Someone’s obese ferret escaped?
What is this?!”
According to my expertise, and obviously I had to post this video, it’s not a honey badger. (more…)

From the D.C. Department of Health:
“A rabid raccoon has been captured in the vicinity of 32nd St. and Nebraska Ave. NW. If you came in contact with this animal call (202) 442-9143 or email [email protected]. Read about rabies here.”
The Washington Post reported:
“Three people in upper Northwest Washington have been attacked by a rabid raccoon, D.C.health officials said.
In a statement issued Monday night, the city’s Department of Health said the raccoon was captured “after attacking three people in the Chevy Chase neighborhood.”
Be safe Chevy Chase! Or is it Wakefield or Forest Hills? Be safe Washington D.C.!!
And I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the legendary garbage truck raccoon.

“As predicted, the monarch butterflies are making their stopover in DC. Now I know what milkweed looks like when flowering.
I saw this one on 16th/Mass Ave NW by the Australian Embassy–and saw more on 16th/P and 17th/P–mesmerizing!”
