I’ve only been abroad one time, and there were little gecko/lizard things everywhere, climbing up walls and scurrying across roads, and nobody cared. I was constantly fascinated but to the locals they’re just kinda there.
Bonus question to anyone who visited the UK - was there anything that fascinated you but I’d be taking for granted?
Pic unrelated.
Wait…you dont hear that in the USA?
I hear that even in the city!
I’m in the USA, OP appears to be in the UK.
Anecdotally, UK wildlife does generally seem to be quite quiet compared to other countries. We’ve got talktative birds and the odd cricket and such, but that’s about it. Everything else is in stealth mode
