What’s y’all’s craziest adventures with the local wildlife at work
I can give 2 short stories first, we had a badger come in for a self paced build tour thanks to a teacher leaving a door open. It took over 6 hours to track down and remove from the building with animal control because of course it was small enough it didn’t trigger the motion detection on the security cameras.
Number 2 was much more recent. We were just getting the day started when my phone goes off. My neighbor was calling me to inform me that they had brought my dog inside since there was a black bear in my front yard. Ok that’s a new one but I don’t expect it to come to my work 1/4 mile away. Well about 10 minutes later we are told that we need to make certain that the gates are locked as this bear is now sitting in front of the bus lane at the middle school across the street from us. Then we start getting videos from the kids at the middle school who were arriving in busses and are now just sitting in the road watching this bear and waiting for the sheriff’s office to arrive with a borrowed loader so when they tranq this bear they can lift it into a trailer so it can be relocated because of course animal control is only equipped for up to large dogs here locally so they have to somehow move a monster black bear with just what can be found locally or wait 3 hours for the nearest proper equipment. We ended up delayed start by 4 hours that day
