On our 1st trip to Disney we stayed @ Fort Wilderness in one of the cabins. When we arrived we started to unpack and told our 5 year old to go play outside next to the picnic table while we unpacked, so he went outside but minutes later came in screaming that there was a little pig just outside of our cabin. We told him to not make up stories like that and it was probably just someones cat and to go back outside. He came in again and yelled it was a "little pig" so I went outside to find a fairly large Armadillo looking for insects just outside of our cabin!! WE had never seen one of these in the wild ( were from Massachusetts ) so it was quite interesting to watch.
We saw an alligator tonight, on the shore at Wilderness Lodge. I wish I had gotten a picture, but it was getting ready to storm. It was small, but a good size still.
We have two of those *huge* spiders on our back door to my office. My boys at work told me they're banana spiders and won't ever hurt you but I now use the front door to come and go!
We see a lot of these things around our new home here in SC. We actually have an alligator that lives in our lagoon seriously in our backyard. Last week we watched (and listened unfortunately) to him having a turtle for dinner.
I'll have to find the pictures and post them. I don't know what I specifically have from Disney. I'm fine so long as I don't see a snake
I don't have photos of either of these but from my August 06 trip, there was a pair of slugs that crawled (slimed?) their way onto my sister's rear end while we were waiting for Illuminations at Epcot (Never sit on a planter/bench after a rainfall) and earlier that evening I saw the TINIEST frog ever (small as my pinky fingernail) over in China - I assisted him to safety and like to imagine he was safe from harm [please do not spoil my fantasy].
Sorry for the small image size but you can see them ok.
I'm a huge animal lover so in feb, on our last day of the trip, while we were at MK waiting to ride POTC and JK, we saw these baby ducks with their mama. It was so cute, she had her own CM escort. He told kids nearby not to touch and made sure people saw them since they were walking along all the paths. They were adorable!
