I've seen a fox in the city once. At Loyola lakeshore campus, next to the lake. I was shocked to see it! It was in the middle of the day!

I have seen many coyotes over the years. Most do not end up so well.

I wouldn't say Wheaton is rural either.

Really? Why not? I said it was a fairly rural suburb. Not a rural town.

Does the backyard in that video look very urban suburban to you?

Yeah ok. I don't think so. Those backyards are 4-5 times the size of many backyards in the suburbs.
