A fat groundhog with gnarly teeth roots around near the main entrance of the University of Michigan’s North Campus Research Complex (NCRC) – the former Pfizer site. The security guard points out deer droppings in the same small patch of land.

There are quite a few deer around the North Campus area- nearly hit a pair crossing Baxter last summer.
When we lived in Family Housing we had groundhogs under our porch. We called Housing and they just said “the groundhogs were here first.” Then one summer we had some Russian biologists as next door neighbors, and they adopted an orphaned baby skunk, which they kept in a cage behind the house. Every night all the (many) other skunks in the neighborhood would come around to try and kill it (!) and then get in fights with one another, complete with screeching and omnidirectional spraying. Imagine being inundated in skunk *every* night–and there was no air conditioning, so it was die of heat or die of stink. Nature is thriving on North Campus. :)
