We have fox in our neighborhood.  I have noticed that the squirrel and
rabbit populations are no longer out of control.  That coyote in
Paul's image is an entirely different matter.  Those critters can be
very dangerous to pets, children and even adults.

When we were in Yellowstone, the Rangers reported that the coyote
problem virtually disappears after wolves were reintroduce into the
park.  Now, the coyotes have been reduced in number, and are far less
apparent and aggressive than before the wolves returned.

that was my coyote (alas), and while our squirrel population has 
coincidentally withered since the coyote turned up, we are doing our 
best to haze the coyote away before it eats another cat (all our cats 
are indoors meantime)


unfortunately it seems quite habituated to humans, so it's probably just 
somewhere else in the neighborhood

Nice shot Paul. We used to have a family of foxes in our garden when
we lived in Bristol (a BBC documentary was done about urban Bristol
foxes). I was never able to get close enough to get any pictures

Great shot.  We currently have a small black bear in the neighborhood. The 
scent is driving my dog crazy. The trick is get everyone to keep their trash 
cans food free.

Thanks to all who looked and/or commented.  My original printing of this 
image had a tighter crop so it go rid of the branch near the top...but I 
wasn't smart enough to save that version.;  )


This was the second time they've frolicked in our back yard.  Hopefully 
they'll stick around through summer and reduce the squirrel and rabbit 
population.

Seeing foxes is a rare event around here,
