were you already reading my LJ when i came outside on a winter's night (december, maybe) and discovered one on a bit of snow (a few inches, i think) in my garden eating the half-rotted apples that had accumulated on the ground from the tree next door? it looked up at me, and i looked down at it, and then it did that nonchalant thing you talk about, and just started going back to poking around at the apples. it was biiiiig - including its tail it was probably almost a meter long (though that might be a bit of an overestimate). with my keen-for-a-human sense of smell, after that i would often notice at daybreak that my garden had that slighter muskiness they leave behind on plants when they're walking around without actually spraying. it happened in all seasons.
