KSC Wild Life

There is tons of wild life running around KSC and the air force station. I had an earlier encounter with a stuck turtle which as well as some other animals. Here are some pics I snapped while tooling around

Armadillo running around

Some turkey vultures standing on a telephone pole. They are
all over the place. Probably not a good omen...

A type of stork or egret. Not sure...but he shouldn't play too close to the water.

One day while I was driving home, i saw this guy just cruising across the parking lot. Being sure to stay in my car and keeping a safe distance, I got to snap a few pics:

When i stopped my car, he immediately turned around and headed for the woods.

I guess when he got to the curb, he decided it was a suitable hiding spot...

Say cheese

Also on KSC turf are pigs. I've heard that the origin of these pigs is actually from a farm nearby. All the original pigs got loose a while ago and they've been been living on site ever since. I've also read (on wikipedia) that the pigs are believed to be descendants from those brought to Florida by the early Spanish explorers. On SM1 or something they caught one and had a pig roast.
