Parents & Children Warned to Beware of Wild Animals...It's Spring in Rockwall County, Texas 75032, 75087

Living & Loving Rockwall County, Texas

An Amazing Place to Live!

Rockwall County, Texas is not known for wild game; however, it is spring and wildlife is awakening and being lured out by the warm days and evenings.  All those little rascals who have been hiding during the cold weather are sticking their noses out.  Each spring brings a noticeable upsurge in animal-related incidents.

Parents should teach their children to respect wildlife and to keep a safe distance.  Adults and children all should avoid personal contact with wild animals.  Do not ever feed them!  Squirrels are cute, small. And seem harmless, but they will bite that little hand that feeds them.  Children should be taught never to get near any wild animals, living or dead.  Usually any animal that can be caught may be diseased or injured and likely to bite and spread disease.

Be especially watchful for any tell-tale signs such as droppings, tracks or unusual sounds.  

The many animated films with cute, friendly furry critters who become great friends, dancing and playing all day long, do not have any similar characteristics to the ones that might sneak into our backyards or along the creeks in our local parks.  The critters are wild animals and should all come with a big red BEWARE sign on their foreheads.

Parents teach your children to beware, call an adult, and not be tempted to get closer.  While this may sound like a great adventure to the neighborhood boys, it is not safe.  This includes birds too, as they carry diseases.

One of the best signs of spring are seeing the kids out playing, checking out everything in sight, just be forewarned that there are some wild animals out there, squirrels, raccoons, armadillos, coyotes, and in some areas wild pigs. 

Rockwall County, Texas is ideally located an easy commute to Dallas, Texas, and is situated on the eastern shores of Lake Ray Hubbard.   Rockwall parents & children...be prepared to enjoy a safe and carefree Spring and Summer by following safety rules when it comes to wild animals...yes, a few do live here...Beware!

We have those critters here too including bobcats, coyotes (which are being disrupted from their natural areas from construction), etc.  Most of all the squirrels who own the area and like to watch us hit the breaks as they play lets scare the motorists game!  All the best for a great day!

Good tips on dealing with wild life - we need to respect and admire them.....from a distance! I posted a sign in my garden "Beware of Dog", but the little critters don't listen and dig up my bulbs anyway - lol!

Safe or not, I'm awfully glad they are out there.  It's wonderful to see the increased activity - from a distance, of course!

Hello, Rene, I worry about my grandsons as they love to get out and poke around and seem to be fearless.  I hope this is going to be a great weekend for you...I am looking forward to it!

Good morning Connie, these Texas squirrels do think they own the road as well as about everything esle.  They used to actually eat my Mom's birdhouses.  Best wishes for a productive weekend.

Hey, Kristine, I love your sign - too bad those bad mannered critters don't listen, guess they can't read!

Hello, Ann, I am with you and love seeing the animals.  I keep my distance, but there is just something about watching a wild animal.  Sadly, much of their spaced continues to be taken.

Barbara - Good instruction, especially for us foreigners who tend to have even adult curiosity of all things strange and new.

Barbara - small children really need to be watched as they think of them as toys or potential pets
