I took my daughter camping two weeks ago. Couldn’t get a campsite on short notice so we pitched a tent up in the escarpment at my friends house. Went down to -3 Celsius over night. I bought us new mummy bags but in the middle of the night my daughter decided she wanted to climb to mine with me. That meant that the sleeping bag only came up as high as my chest. I had already forgotten to bring myself a pillow so I ended up sleeping on my arm with a wet blanket around my shoulders. My daughter was fine but it turned into an episode of Alone for me.
Where on the escarpment?!?

Some of the Canadian members who post in this thread are quite retarded, so I should explain that this image was created by overlaying 7 different photos on top of one another. The animals didn't all appear at the same time.

Still cool to try and guess the animals.

A cat, a tiger, a moose, a weird dog-breed, a boar, an Emu, and a bat.

What do I win?
Are raccoons still protected in Germany?
I've read the German people have a high affinity towards the introduced animal.

My best guess was a heron or egret. But I really have no idea.

I don’t give too much of a shit about birds, but I love seeing the Great Blue Herons around here though. Good chance I’ll see one or two at the site I’m going to on Monday. It’s a large spring run that converges into a creek, and they seem to like the pool where those meet. Most times I’m there I see herons.

I see a panther and bobcat, a giant possum, rabbit, raccoon. Don’t know what the bird is, and is that a Key Deer? Looks a little different than standard run of the mill whitetails
It's a normal white tail. Pics is in the Everglades and the Key Deer subspecies of white tail is only found in the lower Keys.

Bird is a sandhill crane. Common in certain parts of Florida but fairly aggressive. Authorities caution people not to feed them because they're liable to attack lol.

The small river I live near has them. I see them nearly every morning.
They tend to hang around the eddies with slower current.

5/7 because I'm being generous with your horrendous spelling of opossum and accepting your generic "deer." See above for bird.

Finna need you to be more specific about the rabbit. There are two species of rabbit native to the Florida Everglades.

I have a buddy that hunts sandhill crane to eat. I had no idea people ate those, but allegedly it’s somewhere between steak and a pork chop. I kind of want to try it.

I'll go jackrabbit.
And I knew it was a white tail. Looks just like the deer we have around here. Only a little smaller.

LOL. I always spell opossum wrong.

The person who runs the usfws IG account identified it as a marsh rabbit but it looks closer to an eastern cottontail imo. I'd explain my reasoning but you're too dumb to understand.

Edit - Grateful Dude @Grateful Dude marsh rabbits are similar to eastern cottontails (same genus, Sylvilagus) but have shorter ears and no bushy white tail. They're excellent swimmers.

I don't give a fuck about rabbits.
