We live in a zoo

Great present! what makes it different with spot light? is it similar to night vision? I wish to be able to see more than I am able to see. My dogs are barking at night often when animals are close for my house, I wish to be able to see what is walking close by...

Kewl. We've seen wild turkeys and a bobcat and a coyote and skunks...

Hey pat! That sounds totally awesome! I would love to have a view like that since I am an animal lover too! I live on the outskirts of the city so we have racoons, squirrels, skunks and some other little critters roaming around at night! I did come face to face one morning about 4AM with a racoon which kind of scarred the living daylights out of me! I live in a Garden Apartment Complex so there are only 2 floors and 4 apartments to each door, although the apartments are really all connected from the back! I was leaving my girlfriend/neighbors apartment and I opened her door and to my surprise there was a racoon walking upstairs! He looked right at me and I had a good look at that adorable face before I screamed! He must have opened the front door with those cute little paws! But, since it was almost daylight that wasn't a good sign so we called the police! By the time they got there, of course my little racoon friend was nowhere to be found and the cops thought we were intoxicated and crazy!lol

What a great idea for a gift! It would be amazing to watch the animals that come out at night. We live in suburbia but it would be fascinating to see what lurks in our backyard when it’s dark. I know there are possums and rats and I wonder what else...You live on a property to you would get an array of different species visiting your place! That’s wonderful, wish I could see it!

Wow, you have made a really cool discovery! I think it would be quite cool to observe wild animals from your home windows. Yesterday, my math teacher was telling us about a similar experience she had: there were lots of deers around her garden, some rabbits too. They were looking for tree bark and food leftovers there. Our teachers said she will be leaving some hay or vegetables for these animals, so she would have something to observe in the evening again. I think you're very lucky to have a chance to see something like that!

Boy! What a life you have that day. I think your life that day is something it's add to your experience. I share my deepest sentiments to you. And I hope it's not your life all the time. Have a good day!

Wow I would love to watch all them Animals specially the Deer it must be great to watch the Nature like that

Yup! I live in Ontario near Toronto Canada, on a farm in the country. We cannot see another house from our front yard. 3 summers ago I shot a black bear in the yard, and we often have wild turkeys roosting in the trees by the house. Once, while sleeping with the bedroom window open, a Cougar called just outside. It was a horrid screeching noise, and at the time I had no idea what it was. Later we saw it crossing the road. White tailed deer are very common, as are skunks,weasels,Canada Geese, and coyotes.

Hi savypat, I completely agree with you, we would certainly be surprised. Now if we could just watch all the busy insects and see what they were doing. We live a lifetime on this earth and know so little about our fellow inhabitants. Blessings.

My dad has one of those lights and one evening he shined it in the field for me--green eyes everywhere! It was a small herd of deer, they were gorgeous! I was surprised to find that we have raccoons and possums here in the city. Cookie almost caught a raccoon last week and I'm very glad she didn't! He made it over our fence and climbed a pole and wouldn't come down till I took her inside and shut the dog door.

We always have wildlife wandering around our house after dark. The deer have even been known to bed down in our corn and graze lazily. The worst thing we have wandering are the skunks. In the summer we will have at least one or two of them get hit by a car out in front of the house; and the smell will linger for days. My favorite little critter to watch are the chipmunks. They will play in the grass and leaves. It is hard to believe that a critter as small as they are can make such a racket.

When I lived in the country we had all sorts of critters! Deer, raccoons, even a black panther once!! THAT was scary! Now that we live in the city I am amazed at what is here. I have seen deer, possums, raccoons, and of course the stray cats and dogs. I won't mention the hawk that flies overhead trying to capture a moment when I am not watching my 3lb yorkie! LOL
