Is it possible to be attacked by an animal while walking at night? Sure, but you have much higher odds of being injured by the rolling beasts of The Villages. I wear an inexpensive high visibility safety sash or vest that is reflective and a flashlight. Enjoy the nighttime stroll but stay aware of your surroundings and you will return home safely.
