Colorado River Toad
Check this guy out...just don't touch him. He's not your average toad, he's poisonous!

Gila Monster
Yep, you got it another poisonous guest. Another look but don't touch!

Hummingbird
Now for the 'ahhhhh' moment. These guys are just cool to look at, that is if one stays still long enough!

Roadrunner
This guy has apparently been hanging around a local home and has been trying to come in. He's knocking, will someone answer the door?

Tarantula
This little guy (well it looks little in the photo) is a daily visitor as well.

Wildcat
This came in with the caption, 'Oh what beautiful eyes you have.' How can you not agree?

These are just a few of the 'wildlife' photos that have come across the 'See, Snap, Send It' desk.  Apparently humans aren't the only ones enjoying the monsoon!

They range from the poisonous and dangerous (Colorado River Toad and Gila Monster)  to the almost cute and cuddly (the wildcat and the hummingbird).  The tarantula just seemed to fit in its own category.  How would you categorize it?

Keep those photos coming in, but be safe taking them!
