Description
If you want to walk up into this country and come back down alive: www.Otisboone.com
You come to the Appalachian Mountains watching for bears, but some of the most dangerous animals in these hills are ones you never knew lived here. There's an animal loose in the Smokies whose ancestors were shipped over from Europe, a predator West Virginia had to trade for, and a pack of animals farther up this same mountain chain that did something no animal of its kind had ever done. And the one I'd worry about most is smaller than your fingernail.
I was raised in these mountains. These are 15 dangerous animals living in the Appalachians right now, counted down to the one nobody warns you about, with the rule we live by around here for every one of them.
