My mother (who lives in the UK) recently visited me (in the US). While walking we saw a bald eagle fishing. She was blown away. Here that's commonplace
- bboozzoo 5y agoRaccoons were introduced in Europe by humans, but badgers are native to Europe and they are equally interesting mammals. Although your chances of spotting a badger in the wild, at least in Poland, are much lower than for the racoons in the US.
- pfdietz 5y agoSeeing eagles fishing is now commonplace, but it wasn't even a few decades ago, as the Bald Eagle was nearly extirpated in the contiguous 48 US states by DDT pollution. Thankfully they've made a big comeback.
