Certified WILDLIFE HABITAT

We have what appears to be three bobcats who currently stay in the area. SE Kansas is know to have the largest population but they are only rarely seen. Most of our sightings have been by trail camera but we have been fortunate to have seen them running about.

The largest frog in North America these frogs are known for their call that is so deep, it resembles the mooing of a cow, hence its name. Only males emit this sound and can be heard during the day or night. They are nocturnal predators, they will eat about anything they can fit in their mouths, including insects, mice, fish, birds, and snakes. They sit quietly and wait for prey to pass by, then lunge with mouths wide open. They can leap 3 - 6 ft. Males are highly territorial and will aggressively protect their land. Females are typically larger than males. With multiple ponds on our land we have an over abundance of frogs.

Opossums can be beneficial for your garden eating snails, slugs, and insects. They are not vicious or aggressive to humans but if you are bitten their diseases can be harmful. We have been able to provide a habitat that apparently they enjoy as we have experienced no issues with them and our livestock. Our property and animals are under video surveillance and we have not observed any near the animals. It is important to make sure they do not have access to the horse feed area as there is a potential for horses to acquire a neurologic disorder called EPM if exposed to infected opossum feces.
