(Or "expanded into coyote territory again."<br /><br />I realize that animals don't have ethics, and that they look at the world through pretty basic hierarchies of threat dynamics, but things that hunt in packs are scary as fuck. Especially when they have sharp teeth.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771959740072605857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-89679834764320906272017-03-09T00:54:51.933-05:002017-03-09T00:54:51.933-05:00Reading your post, LI, I have to say that I am gla...Reading your post, LI, I have to say that I am glad that my precious kitties aren't sixty or seventy pounds... cats are such perfect killing machines.Big Bad Bald Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983025559556548658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-43033721323705890792017-03-07T21:17:46.491-05:002017-03-07T21:17:46.491-05:00I wanted to echo your thoughts when I first read t...I wanted to echo your thoughts when I first read this nifty post a couple of nights ago. You reminded me of an experience I had well over 3 decades ago, when my then boyfriend, my sister and I traveled into NYC to spend the day at the Bronx Zoo, for the first time since childhood. A new, advanced-design Big Cat building was among several new facilities that had been opened recently. <br /><br />We entered the new Feline house. Immediately inside the door, I found myself five feet away from an adult leopard on my left with nothing between us. The leopard paused in mid-stride, turned his/her head and met my eyes. There was a moment of pure prey-animal petrifaction before the presence of the spotless plate glass registered. <br /><br />It's good to know your place. A predator - especially a top predator - has an inherent quality that no jumped-up anthropoid will ever achieve.Li'l Innocenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12516526103367681109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-70043216773815581982017-03-05T13:09:49.307-05:002017-03-05T13:09:49.307-05:00You oughta set up a couple of night vision game/tr...You oughta set up a couple of night vision game/trail cameras around the site and see what alls out there at night.
