What animal did I just see in my neighborhood?
OK ladies, I live in the upstate... Not IN the city, there are woods around my neighborhood, but I wouldn't say I live in a "rural" area either... just a small area of ruralish land surrounded by city.
Anyway I was looking otu my window and a strange animal scampers through the neighborhood. It looked wild, not a cat or dog. At first I thoght maybe it was a fox but I looked up pictures of the fox and it was lower to the ground, furrier, and less pointy (no pointy nose) but it was colored like a fox.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't a cat or dog... any other suggestions? It was REALLY fast when it ran.
Re: What animal did I just see in my neighborhood?
coyote?
They can be different sizes just like dogs, especially younger coyotes. And I know even though we don't live in the "country" there is still a problem with coyotes around here...and you might not see a lot of them but you'd see them as often as you might see deer. and they are colored a lot like foxes and look similar to dogs...kind of.
anyhow just google coyote and you'll see. I've seen one or two from the road before....
also, I just noticed you said the nose wasn't pointy...and coyote's nose kind of is.
Could it have been a bobcat or panther?? bob cats coats are brownish and even though we often think of panthers as black- there are brown one's...
Good Grief V, what kind of critters have you got running around over there??? LOL, jk.
couldn't have been an oppossum or something of that type could it?? I know they're a little closer to the ground than a house cat, but maybe that or a racoon or something like that.
let me know when you find out/ figure it out so I can keep an eye out over here-esp since we're not too far away from you two.
I have been peering out my window all day hoping to see it again. I'm thinking all the crazy wind yesterday maybe got him all stirred up from his wooded home and brought him into the neighborhood. My best guess right now is maybe a baby fox. It wasn't a beaver, and it wasn't an oppossum. It was way too small to be a bobcat I think... I'm leaning toward baby fox....
Crazy question...but you don't happen to have a neighbor who has a Savannah Cat or other wild/domestic cat hybrid? They are one of those things that the first time you see them you are like "What was that?"
Also, don't think that just because you aren't out in the country that there aren't wild animals around. Wasn't it about a year ago when there was a Bear spotted near Best Buy and Dicks on Woodruff Road?
I don't think we have any neighbors with wild/domestic hybrid cats or anything. We just moved here in Aug, but I think I know all the neighbor pets pretty well.
