Coyote: Canis latrans - a member of the canid family, these animals are not terribly different from your dog, except they're ...wilder. They have actually learned
to survive in suburban and even urban areas, so they're not unheard of. Still, they pose no real threat of any kind, unless you have a chicken coop or small pets outside at night or something. They're usually shy and reclusive. If you see one, don't go nuts with worry - they won't eat
your children in the night.
Fox: Vulpes vulpes - The Red Fox is a shy little canid that really poses no real threats or problems of any kind. I wouldn't really worry about trying to trap or remove a fox from your property. Consider
yourself lucky to see one! If you have some unusual situation, like a problem fox eating your chickens or fox under your deck, give me a call, but otherwise, just leave these harmless little guys alone. |
