This thread is a casual discussion centered on identifying edible bushmeat and local wildlife, initiated by a user sharing photos of animals killed on their farm. The conversation shifts from identifying species like the Potto and monitor lizard to broader topics of farming life, including crop pests (grasscutters, snakes, mongooses), the tension with herdsmen, and the economics of selling livestock.

This page is a long-running thread where one author, Farmerakinloye6, posts photos and videos of various wild animals (porcupines, antelopes, squirrels, tortoises) caught in traps, asking the community if they are edible. The discussion devolves into banter about eating bush meat, with occasional side conversations about land prices and farm security against herdsmen, but lacks substantive agricultural advice or trading.
