The Tea on Bears and Other Wild Stuff 🍡

Alright, listen up, cuz this is important. Bears are, like, totally invading urban areas now, which is kinda sus, tbh. To keep things chill, you gotta lock up your garbage, your pet's grub, any birdseed, and even fruit that's just chillin' on your trees. Basically, anything that might attract a hungry bear. Clean your grills and compost bins too, no cap.

If you're walkin' your dog, keep 'em on a leash. Off-leash dogs be causing drama and might trigger a bear. When you're hiking, make some noise so you don't accidentally jumpscare a bear. Clap, yell, or get some of those bear bell things. And for real, carry bear spray. Learn how to use that stuff; it could save your life.

If you actually see a bear, don't freak out and start sprinting. Stay calm, slowly back away while facing it, and talk in a chill voice. If that bear starts following you or acting all aggressive, stand your ground and get ready to use that bear spray. No cap!

Delaware's Animal Kingdom is Kinda Shady πŸπŸ•·οΈ

But wait, there's more! If you're in Delaware, keep an eye out for some other creatures that might ruin your day. Like, the eastern copperhead snake? Its bite can mess you up, causing tissue damage and no one wants that.

Then there's the timber rattlesnake. You can recognize it by its triangular head and rattle, but you might not wanna get that close. They're venomous and dangerous, periodt.

Don't forget the black widow spiders, those little dudes have a neurotoxin that causes pain. Get medical attention ASAP if you see the puncture marks from a bite, for real.

Even the cute deer in the area can cause problems too because they can cause car accidents when you're least expecting it. Bruh, be careful out there, fr!

And of course, the mosquitos can be carrying zika, West nile or even malaria. Make sure to layer on that insect repellent.
