LOL! No, this is rural Oklahoma. You would need 20 traps, then other coyotes would simply take their place.

When I sit out at night communing with the stars, I can hear three distinct packs singing from three different directions. Sometimes all three are near our home and they have a battle of the choirs.

I would say by the yips and howls that there are close to 20. I even went out and "marked" the boundaries of my place. Then fired off a few rounds into the ground to let them know I am here.

Once I started howling and my morkie and GSD joined me in a chorus. I won't shoot them for sport or furs. Only if my "pack" is in danger.

I agree. In a rural area that wouldn't work. Any pack or pack member removed is just replaced by another. They breed like . . . coyotes.

Pam, in the city, might have more success with a trap and release. I'd just say, wear gloves when you move the trap.

I saw this on the internet and couldn't pass up posting it. Amazing how the mother seahorse gives birth to so many young.


Seahorse gives birth to hundreds. [VIDEO] (short video)

Great video, Ben. I notice poor mama was exhausted after that and seemed to just sink to the bottom. Out of curiosity, how many of those babies survive? I guess I could google it but I'm just lazy.

It's pouring rain so couldn't get a picture, but there was a goat on the ROOF Went into the bedroom for something and looked out and there he was! Evidently climbed up my neighbors stairs and then onto the roof. Fortunately my landlord was just pulling in so I could tell him - he went up on the roof and carried him down

This is what I was trying to post a day or so ago! See how he is trying to run out of my photo? HAAAA Naughty bird!



For the next one:

How am I suppose to practice flying with HIM hanging around?? (Give me another title!)


This next one is NOT my DNA molecules! This is the water drops at a fountain at the public library. I was focusing on where the water tipped over the arc of the water spray!

I vote this one: most unique observation in a long time.
