And there it is, finally, it was about time. Drum roll, please. You are reading the dumbest question in the history of daily writing prompts, which includes the original Daily Prompts. Which, let’s face it, perhaps makes me a dumb blogger, because I can’t help but have to answer.
Sometimes it happens, the fingers start flying over the keyboard and voila, there comes another not-so-interesting blog post.
Have I ever seen wild animals? Are you serious?
Yep, every day, they are everywhere. The squirrels happen to be part of our wildlife and then those birds. Don’t get me started on them. Let me think? Oh, yes we call them wild birds because they don’t have to sit in a cage, imprisoned for a lifetime, no, they live outside our homes in nature and sing just for the joy of it. They also poop on our cars, I suppose that also comes with the joy.
Also the crazy bird, the lead singer in our neighborhood, the one who starts singing at 3 am. Yep, he is wild and happens to be untamed until the day he stops singing.
Even the ants and the other critters we have declared a pest, because they happen to bother us humans and our human living conditions, yes, even those are…yep, you guessed it, they are wild animals.
The spider in the bathroom in the morning, as harmless as it might seem, is part of our wildlife and so are the worms in our flowerbeds.
To put it simply, insects are wildlife so are worms and bugs. Invertebrates are the animals in our world without a backbone and we know a lot of them, after all, they make up 90% of the animals on earth and are part of the base of our food chain. Yep, that’s right, you might not like the worm, but the animals we love to serve so generously on our plates, they do.
Wildlife are the animals that live wild in a country -in every country. Animals include amphibians, reptiles, fish, mammals, birds, and invertebrates.
So have I seen them? Ever?
Are you kidding me?
Haha are you kidding me? I love this blog 🙂
This type of daily writing prompt was surely meant for the Helen Keller’s of the world lol
lol
Seriously I haven’t come across most of this animals out there
This was hilarious
Thank you
amazing know
Wow. … interesting
Hahaha 🤣😂 yes some of the prompts you just roll your eyes
So true!
Unfortunately I don’t think the writers of the Daily Prompts thought the matter through. To city folk who never leave the confines of the city tend to think only two or four legged beings who walk on the surface of the Earth can be called animals.
Just by the way, you missed bacteria. They are animals too by strict definition, just teensy- weensy ones.
I agree. The question made me laugh, so I had to answer this particular prompt. I assume you are right with the city folks.
Hi
😆😆
😆🤣
WordPress’s Tutorials Forever, don’t make it a story!
But it was fun and isn’t that what it’s all about? Also, I wasn’t aware it was a tutorial, I wonder what they want to teach us?
I’m terribly sick right now, projects are pending, having sleepless nights, not being active here due to my illness. and the first post I saw was yours. You made me smile. so thanks 🙂
I hope you will feel better soon.
I can feel your frustration through the lines here! Even I was a bit confused when i came across this question. I couldn’t place what they intended to receive as an answer- especially when it was us humans who tried to seemingly domesticate them. But at the same time, I guess many people have had some unique, rather perplexing encounters with the wild animals in general and they could recount them here.
Either way, this post is a humorous take on some commonly existent scientific inaccuracies and I love it! 🤩
I am glad you liked my take on the prompt. As for the confusion you felt, that’s the way I felt 🙂
Worms also help the plants that I eat.
By their activity in the soil, earthworms offer many benefits: increased nutrient availability, better drainage, and a more stable soil structure, all of which help improve farm productivity. Worms feed on plant debris (dead roots, leaves, grasses, manure) and soil.
I also help wild non farming plant productivity!
I was always wondering if there is such a thing as a ‘worm expert’ and now I know.
And they’re great to take fishing!
😻😻😻
Happy Sunday
Have a great day
🖤

Nice guy !!!
My neighbours are the biggest example 🤣🤣
Really interesting!
Wow, great post. If possible, could you please subscribe to our blog?
Thank you! Sadly I cannot subscribe to your blog without checking it out first. 🙂
This article brought a smile to my face! The playful take on encountering “wild” animals in everyday life adds a humorous twist to the ordinary. It’s a fun reminder that even the smallest creatures contribute to the rich tapestry of our surroundings. Thoroughly enjoyed the read,
I am glad you enjoyed reading my answer to the Daily Prompt. Thank you for taking your time to comment. Happy Holidays!
You make me smile though my eyers are not up yet and I truly must dash potty time. I think the stupidest question would be ‘Iowans are you really pleased republicans want to create more homeless people by doing away with Social Security now that more people then ever are struggling to survive on it?
I suppose there are many more stupid questions one could ask. Don’t give WordPress any ideas 🙂
I needed a laugh.I like the exercise.Every writing steps a writer takes strengthens our skill set I think. I’m working on learning to write fiction.
Nice
Thanks Shreya.
Thank you for your response to this prompt, Bridget. I have to say that you made me laugh. Even in my suburban neighborhood coyotes are constant companions. I wonder what expectations the prompt-writer had in mind?
I am glad I made you laugh. I know you need it as much as I do. We have Coyotes too…in Ohio. Can you believe it? I almost fainted when I saw the first one in our neighborhood. First thing in the morning when I walked the dogs. Now I am used to them. Not sure how they ended up here, that might be an interesting research.
I feel so badly for my mom. At 91 she still walks every day, but she’s had to stop walking in our neighborhood because even though the coyotes aren’t very interested in her, they scare her, understandably. They live in a local golf course, and sometimes we see them in packs. I’m pretty enamored with wildlife, but maybe more at a distance. 🙂
Hello
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying your posts and the knowledge you share here. It’s evident that a lot of effort goes into your content and it’s been incredibly informative and insightful. I’ve subscribed to your blog to make sure I don’t miss out on your future updates.
Also, I noticed you have some advertisements on your site and I made sure to click through as a token of my appreciation for your work.
Keep up the great work!
Hello and welcome! Goodness, why is there advertisement? I thought I pay for being ad-free or did I sleep through that.
Your kind words reached me in the evening, when I needed a bit of an uplift after a long day. Thank you. I hope we will get to know each other better.
Loved this post!
I am glad 🙂
thank you! 🙂
Dumb enough to respond, but you couldn’t produce a dumb blog if you tried
Oh, that’s just too kind and sweet. Thank you so much. You made me blush first thing in the morning.
Well, goofy or not, the writing prompt inspired you to create an entertaining blog!
Oh my, you have made a solid point 🙂
Excellent! 😁👍🏻
Thank you!
I giggled at this. I love it!
I like the idea that I made you giggle 🙂
If you don’t see ’em you are never outside… that’s all I gotta say! I get bonuses when the raccoons and possums come by to finish off the outdoor cat food LOL
Oh dangit, I forgot about the raccoons, mice and rats. 🙂
Thank goodness for all the wild animals, birds, insects, et al. Without them we would not exist.
So true.
Loved this: “You are reading the dumbest question in the history of daily writing prompts, which includes the original Daily Prompts. Which, let’s face it, perhaps makes me a dumb blogger, because I can’t help but have to answer.”
I am glad you like it. 🙂
You’re absolutely right … on both counts. All animals are ‘wild’ – I interpreted ‘wild’ to mean ‘dangerous’ or ‘really ****** off’ for my post. (And yeah – as someone new to these Daily Prompts, I agree they can be pretty lame – but at least they do stimulate some reaction.) 🙂
Yes, indeed, the prompts can be helpful, especially when you are a new blogger. Food for thought, and ‘stuff’ to write about. A fishing ground for new readers and followers and a great way to compare responses and styles.
Bridget you’re the best!! 😀 😀
I like it -but doubt it 🙂
Ha ha ha thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking, Bridget! 🙂
I have a feeling many of us were thinking the same, but my fingers were faster 🙂
Cute piece. It made me think of the deer I almost hit last night when it jumped out in front of me. I was lucky i was able to stop in time. If they’re going to stay wild, they need to follow the traffic signals, right? Ha ha!
Yes, they need to learn traffic signals and the need a watch, the birds I mean.
I usually ignore those daily prompts, but this one caught my eye – I could put together a lovely post on a lot of the big and hairy wildlife around here … then I thought of confining myself to the garden. What did I see today? Apart from birds there were spiders, beetles, caterpillars, a snail, ants galore and even a butterfly!
I did the old original daily prompts for a while when I started blogging, but it got boring fast. Some of the questions were mildly unintelligent back than already.
As for this one, just tickled my funny bone tremendously.
Yes
Yeah I laughed at this one too! Some people think wild animals only live elsewhere. Look around…
As you probably can tell, so did I 🙂
Yeah u are a bit right
💕
