Default Dangerous Animals

Hey guys. I was just thinking about this. I know bears and wildcats are dangerous. I mean, that's just obvious. But have you thought about fox, possum, raccoons, wild dogs and feral cats? They can do some damage but they probably couldn't kill you. But think of the diseases they carry. They have fleas which honestly can carry a lot of diseases including black plague. They can also be rabid and bite you which if you don't treat would probably kill you. Have you thought of these things?

Where I live we have a real bad coyote problem, they are all over the place and they are very aggressive and travel in packs, recently people have been killed by them in national parks and they have been hanging around schools.

We have a serious coyote problem as well. They travel in packs here as well and come in to the city at night. They have not attacked anyone yet but if you were attacked by a pack of coyotes you could be seriously injured or even killed.

Coyotes are everywhere they are masters , I do not concern myself with critters other then protecting food and gear from them. Unfortunately I would be more concerned with 2 legged animals myself a sad but true reality now days
