An Up-Close Look at The Animals That Live in Westchester

Some of the typical (and not so typical) critters that call the county home.

 

Wildlife can be a nuisance for sure —deer eating your hostas, raccoons using your attic as a latrine, squirrels chewing cable wires  — but they’re also at turns beautiful, noble, endearing, curious, weird, and exotic. Following is an up-close look at some of the typical (and not so typical) four-, two-, and in some cases, no-legged critters that call the county home.
