Wild bunnies in my yard

Reddit Animals

Now they're building new houses on that block and the heavy equipment has surely scared away the animals living in that space. I now have wild rabbits.

We do have a possum and a raccoon that live somewhere on the property. And I have found one small dead garden snake in the street. but that's pretty much it for mammals.
