Animals I see in my back yard:
rabbits and squirrels (daily)
White tail Deer (almost daily)
Red Tail Hawks (almost daily)
Bears (3 to 4 times a year. For some reason they like coming up on my back porch)
Bob cats (maybe once year they are very shy)

I spotted an Eastern yellow ribbon snake on the pathway between the exits of Dinosaur/Chester & Hester's store about a year ago..

Update: I forgot I took a picture of it....

water moccasin in the water on the west side of the castle mote... that's been the only animal we've seen that was concerning.

I've seen them many times, but, really not much else other then small harmless things like rabbits and turtles. Yes, Alligators but, that is a swamp and it is located in Florida. They were there long before we showed up. All you really have to do is be aware that they are around and steer clear.

Spotted in this little critter in the pool at the bottom of Splash Mountain in 2015.

I've seen snakes, turtles, turkeys and gators all on property at Disney.

Have not seen the alligator(s) in Magic any time recently. They were spotted so often the CM's named the female Ernestien. We saw nearly every visit for a while, now have not seen her on our last four or five visits to Magic.

We see turtles all the time at the Boardwalk crossing over to the water from the other side behind the ESPN Club. Snakes, though not very often. Spotted some wild Turkeys on the Monorail ride from EPCOT to Magic as well.

Very first time at WDW back in the early 90's, bus going from CB to one of the parks stopped because there was a gator laying in the middle of the road within the resort. Also saw gators in the water by Tom Sawyer Island.

Once saw an armadillo walking across the parking lot at Pop late one night.

I was out for a morning run between WL and FW a few years back and ran right up on a deer just hanging out. I wasn't really paying attention so it startled me pretty good

Last year while driving out of Port Orleans Riverside a big animal darted in front of our car. At first we thought it was a deer-turns out it was a HUGE cat probably a florida panther-freaked us out!

Yikes!

Just about everything.

Squirrels, bunnies and deer, giant black king snake in the pool at WL, gators in various bodies of water, lots of little lizards, the occasional iguana if you're lucky to find. This is Florida.

I don't mind the bunnies. I think they're cute.

Oh, you say that now, but just wait until they attack!

We were staying on the 4th floor in Kidani Villas and were looking out over the Savanna on our balcony. We looked down and saw a long, thick(ish) black snake slithering around what I think were the central air conditioning units. Blech. Was happy to be 4 floors up!

 

[Disney.Mike]

How so?

It would be awesome to see one randomly... From a distance Have you seen them in the park before or just i general?

Not sure if this has been addressed. But when a pig is turned loose into the wild, their testosterone shoots up by something like 5000%. This causes them to grow hair and tusk. Tusk that can literally gut you. And they are quite aggressive. I have lost more than 1 hunting dog to a hogs tusk

 

[SyracuseDisneyFan]

Yikes about the snake.

Rabbits (saw a pair once at our resort doing what rabbits do to make more rabbits - get a room!), squirrels, wild turkeys, snakes, frogs, lizards, buzzards, guests in WS....

Yikes about the snake.
