I have been watching a pair of Whitetail fawns in my neighborhood. Last time I saw them was two weeks ago, and they were tiny. Today I saw their whole family, and they have grown six inches and were bounding through the forest with amazing speed and agility.

Rapidly growing Deer. A definite sign of Global Warming!
I noticed goslings at my golf course this summer growing from hatchlings to near adult size in just two weeks. Maybe I’ve just never paid attention before, but Global Warming is a better explanation.
No, those long-legged rats do grow very fast. And they will devour a garden over night.
