Often found in piles, this animal's scat looks like a movie chocolate candy favorite

I am often described as "leaves of three, let me be"

At dusk I ask the question, "who - who cooks for you"

There are two versions of me running around our woods, but we both are stinkers

Usually cylinder in shape and full or berry seeds, this animal's scat is anything but masked

The surest way to positively identify this three-leafed poisonous species is by its seeds and berries. Unlike the smooth, waxy berries of poison ivy, my berries are hairy.

These furry-tailed rodent babies tend to make high-pitched, bird-like chirping noises when they feel distressed.

Often mistaken as poisonous ivy, my stems are reddish-brown, finely hairy; and my leaves of five should be left to thrive

Often building nests, called mounds, these hot tempered insects create their connected homes and pathways by pushing up soil as they tunnel in the earth.

My deep, dark berries look delicious, but one handful is guaranteed to put you to sleep permanently.

When I get upset or feel threatened I shake my tail, making a noise designed to rattle your nerves

This slithering friend is white with red or orange markings with black borders, and won't kill a fellow.

Often taking over burrows that have been abandoned by other animals, these creatures slide in and out with ease.

A shrub or bush with two rows of 7 - 13 leaflets that turn red

Adults of this predatory bird species make the distinctive, hoarse screech while in flight, often described as a scream sounding like kee-eeeee-arr. It lasts 2-3 seconds

These common slow movers are usually not aggressive if encountered in the water, but tend to become belligerent when encountered on land and will hiss when it feels threatened.

This insect may build nests in rotted tree stumps, but normally they build their nests in rodent burrows which are usually inaccessible and can't be removed.

Both the stems and the leaves of this poison plant are covered by “hairs” that act like needles when they come into contact with the skin.

When you hear me whistling in the trees, look quick because I'm a blur of color flying through fast.

The color of this spider varies from light tan to brown with a violin-shaped marking on the back of the head chest area.
