>>2503314>You forgot way more people, and way smaller mountains with way fewer animals. lol.>way more people>in Appalachia>fewer animals>in AppalachiaYou truly have no idea what you're talking about, not even slightly. The great majority of rhododendron-choked Appalachian waterways and surrounding areas are virtually deserted, with a dinky town or two distantly nearby.
And animals... I once walked through some woods near Radford, VA to a lake known as Claytor Lake to go catfishing, and turned on my headlamp. Everywhere I looked, I saw eyeshine, a galaxy of it. Raccoons, opossums, and deer, mostly, I'm sure, but probably others. It surprised me because Claytor is so developed.
In Appalachia, herds of whitetail deer graze their way through some small towns. Black bears rifle through trash cans on the regular. Coyotes steal chickens, cougars take stray dogs, squirrels throw nuts down onto your head and car, eagles, hawks, ravens, owls, and songbirds abound... ducks, geese, even herons can be found everywhere.
You haven't got the slightest clue. One of the main themes of Appalachia is the scarce population and abundant wildlife.
