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.
I saw a coyote two nights in a row off belcher road. No one believed me. Even though i’m from Maine and have seen several. And then the next day on the news one street over, someone had recorded it with their phone and it was on the news. It was good to gloat. There’s more to the story but it’s so strange no one will believe it….
Dustin, I have been told that you can hear the coyotes howl when an ambulance goes by- they join in with the siren! And what IS the rest of the story?
