Sure, I will have to take some pics and post them on here next week. I have about 1400gal rain water storage between a 500gal plastic tub and 15 blue 55gal barrels. Not all the barrels are piped up in a series yet but all are full of rain water for storage. One half of my house is guttered to the barrels. Got a pump that puts out way too many gpm for what I need but it works. Each raised bed has 15ft of garden hose wrapped around the blues and covered in 3in of pine bark mulch. Poked holes in the hose with a nail every 2 inches. Im wanting to get a timer and automate the whole thing but havent got around to it yet. All my potted blues I hand water with a water can. Thats pretty much it. It really looks pretty getto the way its all set up but it is very functional. My wife is on my butt to build a fence around the barrels and stuff cause it is a eye sore. I will post some pics in the near future.

What wild animal is this?
Q

Those poweweful hind legs and a very big foot says rabbit to me. Also, the hind legs are outsized in length compared to the front legs, more so than for a canine. The carcass is in very bad shape. Imagine putting a pair of long ears on the head. Also, compare the size of the carcass with the oak leaf next to it. It is right sized for a rabbit.

Salt water pools and wild animals
Q

Thanks guys! I do feel better. I am sure there are other chlorinated pools in the area that the birds and bats can drink out of also. I am wondering if the pool is no salty enough to cause serious effects to the animals. I will be adding two chlorinated water sources in the front and back yard as I progress through this remodel. I am adding these solely for the wild animals.

Literary pet names
Q

I have a doubly literary one for you: My brother named his cockatiel Quasimodo - Quasi for short - after a pigeon of the same name in Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals. That pigeon in turn had been named after the bell-ringer from Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, because it was so ugly when he got it. It was moulting from its baby down and had pin feathers sticking in every direction, just like Quasi when brother got him. My own tiel has a sort of literary name as well: LjÃÂºflingur, which is a metaphor used in poetry to refer to an elf or a lover. It literally means "sweet one".

Its a Nilgai alright.

I forgot to mention that while the Nilgai is native to India, an introduced population has established itself in parts of South Texas. It would be cool to see one there, even if they aren't native.

Interesting. Where are they in south Texas? I would like to know since I live here.

Thanks.

Very interesting. Thanks for the information. Next time I'm headed to the valley, I'll keep an eye out for them.

Now that would be a sight in the U.S. Like being on safari. Thanks for posting that one!
