wildlife

Caesar was given a second chance at life.

"East Texas used to look like a pine meadow or savannah, with beautiful open spaces filled with green grasses and wildflowers between the trees."

It "comes in several colors, like red, white, purple, and yellow." Once washed ashore, you may see "black on the inside of the coral, which is its skeleton."

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.

Before you get any joke ideas...it was on my windshield BEFORE I started driving, so it's not like I'm asking you to identify a smashed bug.

Just this weekend - on Saturday to be exact - I was driving back home, and something in what used to be a parking lot of an old abandoned store caught my eye.

No, really, it's a thing. And, we've got pictures to prove it. They've even got SFASU the Squirrel posing! Check it out:

This is the second time in a week that I've come across some form of wildlife in Nacogdoches that I wasn't sure about...

I'm looking for any of our local bird experts out there to tell me what this strange-looking creature is.
