Coyotes-Wolves-Cougars.blogspot.com

Grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, coyotes, cougars/ mountain lions,bobcats, wolverines, lynx, foxes, fishers and martens are the suite of carnivores that originally inhabited North America after the Pleistocene extinctions. This site invites research, commentary, point/counterpoint on that suite of native animals (predator and prey) that inhabited The Americas circa 1500-at the initial point of European exploration and subsequent colonization. Landscape ecology, journal accounts of explorers and frontiersmen, genetic evaluations of museum animals, peer reviewed 20th and 21st century research on various aspects of our "Wild America" as well as subjective commentary from expert and layman alike. All of the above being revealed and discussed with the underlying goal of one day seeing our Continent rewilded.....Where big enough swaths of open space exist with connective corridors to other large forest, meadow, mountain, valley, prairie, desert and chaparral wildlands.....Thereby enabling all of our historic fauna, including man, to live in a sustainable and healthy environment. - Blogger Rick

REDDHOLE, friend of Coyotes, Wolves and Cougars forever contributing to our knowledge of Coyotes, Wolves, Bobcats, Cougars, Foxes and Deer

From the book "Deer" by Duane Gerlach:
 My friend and Coyotes, Wolves and Cougars forever contributor REDDHOLE. regularly posts analyses and point-of-view on all things Coyote on the CARNIVORA WEB SITE(www.carnivora.com).
 
Click on the the "link to post" at the bottom right of this Post for some great insight and perspective on Coyotes interspecific competition with bobcats(coyotes reduce the amount of prey which lowers bobcat density but do not necessarily reduce bobcat populations by direct aggression....................coyotes ability to successfully prey on adult deer in ceretain locales is much higher than expected............................Pronghorn populations grow when wolves are in the system as wolves keep coyote populations in check(coyotes readily take pronghorn calves)............................Coyotes and red fox do co-exist but coyotes will be aggressive and periodically kill foxes..................at other times the two species can den close to each other and co-exist successfully.................nonetheless, foxes take precautions to stay clear of coyotes on a regular basis.............................cougars regularly dine on coyotes.............................
 
We thank REDDHOLE again for consistantly informing us of additional sources of all things "indigenous, wild and free."
