We saw one of these in our backyard a few months ago, this is a pic taken from a neighbor a block away, a pack of 4 coyotes.....they are gorgeous, but deadly to our pets.....I pray for all the stray animals out there.....This pic was taken at 3:30 in the afternoon......YIKES, kids are walking home from school! We do not live in the country, although there are railroad tracks and open fields around here. Sadly, these poor animals have no where to go as we destroy their habitats for stores and housing.....

Wowzer! I would much prefer foxes.

Isn't it sad that God's creatures are paying a heavy price for the tremendous increase in human numbers. I love to see the wild animals in our area which is not heavily populated. Sad to know what will happen as more and more land is cleared and built on.

Wow, they are close Vicki. I feel sorry for our native animals as their habitats are being destroyed by human development. We have similar incidences here in Australia too. Love Chris

We have woods and pastures all around Vicki but they are getting so prolific in this area a bounty is on them. Lots of cattle and chicken farms around.

hope all pets and children are safe, but you are right they have to search more for their food ....

We are having more and more of them coming down from the mountains into the farming community. Very dangerous to outside animals!
