Move to CO and you too can have bear in your yard, or at least you sure could when I lived there.

Gorillas are part of the Great Apes family. Apes don't have tails. Monkeys have tails.
Alligators have wider, sorta rounded-shaped snouts and crocodiles have narrow, kinda pointed snouts. Other differences, of course, but that's the most recognizable.
What can I say? I used to be a tom-boy and was fascinated by stuff like that.

If anyone wanted to kill me, all they would have to do would be to put one of these critters on me. I would have a heart attack--on the spot. I can handle the fuzzy critters and even the spiders, but frogs and snakes just scare me to death!

Used to catch tadpolls in the summer when I was a kid. Frogs yes, snakes NO period. I'm just glad I don't live in south Florida near the glads. Those stupid boas & phythons are taking over & now there is a dragon type lizard that is a cousin to the komoto dragon that is taking over. Want to get freaked out, just watch Animal Planet.
