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.

If you really want to see huge squirrels check out a US college campus. They're so fat!

A squirrel in a public park near me climbed up on me to get to the peanuts I was holding, no fear. It was also absurdly obese.

Had the same experience in Ann Arbor, MI. The next day I learned they have a squirrel feeding club and a kid walked around in the morning with granola bars throwing them out to a circle of 20 chubby squirrels

Hey, just like many of our people! Yay, America!

Those poor lil things... I feel sad for them. :(

Fake news! That user "CatDogL0ver" is just is a dog and a cat using a keyboard. They're just trying to discredit squirrels.
