We have coyotes here in the middle of Houston, I have seen them myself. They look very much like theirs picture. We used to have Red Wolves but I think they are extinct now. They interbred with coyotes and dogs.
Coyotes and bobcats range along the river below our house.
Sometimes at night, we hear the coyotes howling at the moon
and our dog, Dub, answers them with her own howling. We see
bobcat tracks from time to time. I used to walk alone down
by the river; but now I’m too old and slow to do that. -
Our former neighbors on the hill to the right of us were
what stopped me walking through those woods. The man would
run out of his workshed and down to shoot the breeze with
me JUST ABOUT every time I walked through there. Oh well.
Things change.
