i lived in tuscon for 5 years. those fvckin' javalinas are mean as sh!t. the coyotes run in large packs and eat peoples little dogs. never had any problems with scorpions and never saw a gila monster. we even had a mountain lion scare the crap out of us when he came lazily walking through the back yard. he acted like we weren't even there.Scorpions in AZ is teh major ****. Having to shake your shoes before you go anywhere, seeing scorpions in the bathrooms occasionally, not fun. Stung by them more than my fair share. Stupid mother fuckers they are. Man AZ in general is teh major **** for animals. ****ing javalinas chasing shit, rattlesnakes(got fun stories with them bitches), tarantulas, freaking Gila Monsters(only seen 1). Living in AZ almost all my life FTL.
did you live around mount lemon? i lived a little outside of town off of ajo way. i think the actual road was called kinney road. i also live within walking distance of the casino of the sun for a little while.Man I remember coyotes too and those javalinas will eat your pumpkins around Halloween. I lived in Tucson up in the foothills of one of the mountains and my elementary school got put on lock down because there was a mountain lion on the school grounds(open campus with hallways out doors.)
