Y'all have done well, so far, so I'll only chime in on a few - hopefully, I'm correct.
10. The Great Horned is the heaviest owl here, but, in sheer size, the Great Grey wins out. I must admit, "longest" perplexes me.
17. Everglades, I think
19. WAG - tarpon
25. Leopard seal

Some barnyard animals came up to me. They think Meyers is a fringe human.

See, when the Great Grey is perched, he has up and down length. In flight, he maintains that size, but he's no longer tall. That's why.

The devil is scarce, but still with us. It's the Tasmanian tiger that has people still searching.

Redirect Notice

Everglades is close by, but the key deer frolics on Big Pine Key, an island on the way to Key West

And while we're in Florida, the pest is the Burmese variety of python.

You know the ounce as snow leopard.

Not a skunk relative and worse than the skunk is the polecat.

He sorta wears glasses does the spectacled bear. I guess Pinotbear's kin hid that side of the family from him.

Javelina = collard peccary

Serval is another big eared cat, but the higher jumper is the caracal

The tarpon is a great leaper, but he ain't a flapper. Watch these guys.



The Giant and the Red. Now you know.

Until next time.
