I’ve been told we have coyotes in our neighborhood.
Although I’ve never seen one, my neighbor assured me that they wander around the local golf course, and sometimes howl along with the emergency vehicles that go up and down Ft. Harrison Avenue at night. I’ve heard that they are mainly a danger to feral cats and small, unprotected dogs.
But I’d still be thrilled to see one. (Not too close, though)
Of course I have seen alligators in Florida. Right smack dab in the local parks, for gosh sakes (At least the parks that have lakes) It’s a little bit surreal: Picnic area, children’s play area, lake brimming with alligators.
And who hasn’t come upon a fat raccoon or possum in the back yard here? Mysterious critters. I have no idea where they hang out during the day light hours. Well, I’m happy (for the time being) to live in a town that hosts coyotes, alligators, raccoons, opossums, flying squirrels and hundreds of lizards. Right up this animal lover’s alley.
