Is this animal a fox? yes!

[Bramblefind]

I feel sort of dumb asking but it looked so weird when I first saw it just hanging out in the road that I thought it was a chupacabra or something else very strange

But now looking at the pictures I think possibly a fox that is sick with mange? Or it just hit me .. maybe the onset of rabies? It was not as afraid of me as it I would have expected and actually seemed interested in me. Then ran when I took a couple steps toward it.

Seen on a road in the Southern Adirondack region of NY.

I havent read it all but coyotes are a problem here in South Florida. They are not native and are to be shot on sight along with the pythons. They dont belong here and upset natures delicate balance..

Why have they come to be there in Florida, if they are not native

With over populations,they are spreading into places they never were.There populations are at an all time high in recorded history....so the argument we are taking up there space doesnt hold either.

Yes,it is illegal,but America just makes new laws and doesnt enforce the ones they already have.....like crossing the border illegally!!

Here's a healthy coyote in my front yard as of 2-4 months ago. Killed many of my chickens and a kitten. Finally got a shot at him, but missed. Labs are pretty good at keeping him/her at bay now. But we stay alert. (am hoping the picture comes through) - Noodle

Well, I can't get it resized because of my punky computer. If someone wise out there could resize it, I'd appreciate it. Anyway, he/she is healthy and definitely a coyote, which doesn't resemble a fox. The one farther up in the thread, though, is beautiful! (fox, that is) - Noodle

so....evidently Brady thinks that I am wrong(thats fine)and that everybody agrees it is a coyote.I am at a loss....I dont see that...who??

BRADY THIS ANIMAL HAS MANGE WHICH CAUSES THE HAIR TO FALL OUT,WHICH GIVES THE ANIMAL THE APPEARANCE OF BEING TALL,AND YEA,THE TAIL ISNT BUSHY CAUSE THE HAIR IS GONE!!!LOOK AT THE LINKS I PROVIDED.IT CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE.THE POSTER WANTED TO KNOW FOR FACT AND I HAVE PROVIDED THAT.

Just like DialM though they wont read the facts just carry on with there mistruths

WOW!!ReallyHmmmm,actually you are incredibly WRONG.I dont even know where to start....

Nifty. The first one is a child, like I stated, the second one is FICTIONAL as it states in the piece, and the third was an attack on a dog, despite the title of the article. Next.

Keep burying your head in the sand...you obviously didnt read the fact I stated the first one was a child.Read the last one,or call,like I stated!Dont tell me I dont know what I am talking about ,because you are afraid of the truth!Peace At least read the last one at least....you cant argue that unless your truly dense

Maybe Brady and Dial are the same people?Where does it state the second is fiction??Just fact my friend,just fact,but you dont know the difference

Here is a real GEM...by a very good friend of mine!!!Facts sting huh??
http://www.broomfield.org/openspace/Coyote_Attacks_Baker_Timm.pdf

That is a gem. How many of those were not attacks on children nor pets in proximity to people? LOL! Read the list. I understand you are all excited because this topic is personally close to you, but you really need to relax. The simple fact is that coyotes are easily frightened off, unless you are stupid enough to walk a tender morsel of a pet on a leash in their domain, or leave small children unattended in areas where coyotes live. Adults have nothing to fear from coyotes. I suppose a rabid coyote may be an exception, but less likely than being attacked by a rabid squirrel.

 

[DialM]

Give me a coyote anyday over a badger. Bad attitude on top of a bad attitude on top of a bad hair day.

But I digress. DialM: Let me reiterate. Young boy walking with FATHER in open space in suburban (not rural) area of Metro Denver, knocked down by an ATTACKING coyote and bit. Later hunted and "a coyote" was killed. This week. 2011. Google the Denver Post. THis is north end of Denver while two areas in the south end are trying to figure out how to handle their coyote problems, both in different directions of how to proceed.

I say, bring in the big guns. Kuger, are you free?

Re-read my post. LOL!

Man, you are freaky. The third one, you know, your "favorite" was the fiction. The one with the byline of "A fictional tale of two states, two governors, two deadly animal attacks and two different approaches to the same problem." LOL! I mixed up the second and third. Waahhhh.

I worked half of those in the report!!!I dont need to read it!Do people need to be afraid...NO,do people need to know it can happen?I think so!As I said,knowing the facts is half the battle.I never said to be afraid.Urban coyotes are not like coyotes in the wild,totally different personalities and they are actually bigger(good diet!!)Note as well all of the coyotes taken on these non were diseased in any way!NO RABIES!!

OK, give me three examples of an adult who was attacked in California that had neither a child nor a pet with them.

Settle down, Beavis. Like I said, I mixed them up. It was hard to keep them straight when you posted one that wasn't relevant, one that was fictional, another one that wasn't relevant, and one that details a bunch of irrelevant incidents. Sheesh.

Wait, you said you were done, then you said "bye" but you are back And calling me names? If you can't attack the argument, you attack the person? Nice. Before calling me ignorant, you may want to determine my level of coyote interaction. Saw several yesterday, as a matter of fact, and lived to type about it. Woohooo!
