where do those critters live anyways? I'm pretty sure I've never seen one...

North America. They're going extinct.

that's sad, would love to have them in Europe

But they are in Europe. Though I think I've only seen some once more about two decades ago.

I think they're only east of the Rockies. I didn't see them on the West Coast at all.

They're native to California. Lived here my whole life and have worked up and down the entire state; ain't never seen one.
