November is a good month for pig slaughter. One can have good homemade sausage for Christmas sauerkraurt. It's best when it can freeze outside for a while.

The good people give him food and blankets and the local vet checked and vaccinated him for free. The mayor of the town paid a dog tax for him.
He's been living in the neighbourhood for about 8 years now and is very friendly.

Chasing The Wolverine - Most Extraordinary Predator That Ever Lived - Documentary TV (beautiful mountain scapes)
A wolverine climbs Mt. Cleveland at the end of January. Vertical climb was 4900 ft - in 90 minutes - to an elevation of 10,479 ft. That's impressive. On the other hand, a wolverine weighs up to 30 lbs (14 kgs) as opposed to 170-180 lbs (80-85 kg).
"Not that many people want to go out at 20 below (-20 F), and into a 50 mph wind, and see what a wolverine is doing." Doug Chadwick

This is a companion post for my earlier post #1679, which showed the kangaroos at my back door. Here I show one of Eastern water dragons of a small community that seems to have developed outside my front door. 
"Well, human? Will you really challenge me? I laid low the warriors of old, and their like is not in the world today!"
I named this guy "Smaug" because he's the biggest, the scariest, and he ain't afraid of nuthin'. I can approach quite close and he just looks at me (whereas all the other smaller dragons scramble for cover as soon as I open my door). The smaller dragons are cuter than Smaug here, but he keeps scaring them off before I can get pics.
The backstory here comes from the hibiscus bush, whose lower trunk you can just see in the upper right of the photo. It was looking rather sick during recent drought(s) and I decided to start watering it. So of course, it then started pushing out lots more leaves and pretty pink flowers. Normally, hibiscus quickly make a dreadful mess on the ground as they drop their flowers. But I hardly ever noticed flowers on the ground here.
Then I realized: the water dragons love those flowers! Mmmm, Mmmm. Tasty as.
A flower on the ground won't last more than an hour or so before a dragon finds it.
This morning, I even noticed a small dragon actually leap off a rock, up into the air, trying to grab a low-hanging flower that had not yet dropped. He succeeded, but then took an unceremonious tumble down the hill and had to hunt around for a while to find his flower again.
In the last few months, I've also noticed an increased population of these dragons in this little area of fernery under the hibiscus bush. Now, when I come out my front door, Smaug sometimes rushes up onto the rock because he associates me with the possibility that some hose water might be forthcoming.
Inadvertently, it seems I've become warden of a miniature sanctuary for water dragons.
Ain't life strange?
----------
Update (25 Feb 2017): Smaug is now eating flowers (almost) out of my hand(!), if I dangle them a centimeter or so in front of his nose.
---------
Update (27 Mar 2017): These dragons are more perceptive than you might think... There's a smaller female who hangs out in this same area. Several times, when I was giving flowers to Smaug, she was up on a higher rock, observing proceedings. She seems to have decided she wants a bit of that hand fed luxury too...
A few days ago, she started to come out of hiding whenever I approached the area, and waited for me to drop some flowers in front of her. Yesterday, she actually took one from my hand as I dangled it in front of her. I never expected that, since the smaller dragons are usually far more timid than Smaug.
