I have only seen 2 in my life in person ran up on one on a 3 wheeler when I was a kid came around the corner there he was just for a second and vanished into the woods. I saw one creeping around a corn field at dusk driving around and thought that's a weird looking coyote and stopped to look for a minute and sure enough there was number 2. They are such cool and stealthy animals I'm glad I've gotten to see some in person. Even if it was just for a second or 2.

The domestic cat breeds (Felis catus) known as American bobtail, Pixibob, Desert lynx, Highlander lynx etc despite there names are NOT the result of a Lynx species/domestic hybrid. However based on the the fact that the domestic cat breeds (Felis catus) known as Bengal cat and Savannah cat was created by hybridisation between Domestic cat (Felis catus) X Asian spotted cat (Prionailurus begalensis) = Bengal cat, and the Domestic cat (Felis catus) X African serval (Leptailurus serval) = Savannah cat exist never say never.

    • @michellesmithunroe2463
      @michellesmithunroe2463 3 роки тому

      We have property on the southwest side of Hendersonville. My brother lived there for a while and his domestic cat became friends with one of the bobcats. I never got to see (presumably) him but they are exquisite! Of all of the wild cats, our random bred domestic cats (and some of the others) do most resemble them. I imagine their genetics are closely related, similar to wolves and huskies, where periodic interbreeding occurs. Interestingly, I suppose it's the opposite of what's occurring the the coyote population where genetics are being "diluted" by domestic dogs but certainly there are instances where the wild genes enter into the domesticated lines too. Fortunately, my brother's cat was spayed so we didn't have any hybrid babies!
      Haven't seen or heard coyotes there yet but have them on the northwestern side of Columbia coming in from the northwest, behind the skunks and raccoons. They're meeting the human expansion pretty much on top of us. In over 50 years, we've only spotted one white squirrel in the mountains but they don't seem to survive well outside of their somewhat protected zones and we are pretty far removed, though not as far as it used to be there either.
      We've also seen or smelled evidence of a black bear for many years now but only caught sight of one last October when she ambled up onto the porch while we were there. We had a tree across the driveway and hiked in so I guess she didn't know "the visitors" were there! I'm gonna say that their hearing or sense of smell isn't terribly acute because she had no idea we were on the other side of the wall peeping through the window. As much as I wanted to watch her, I banged very loudly on the wall to discourage her from getting too close to humans' habitations. She definitely heard and felt that, jumping down off of the porch, crossing the creek, and running halfway up the steep ridge on the other side with her tail literally tucked before stopping to turn around. Sadly, we barely got a picture of her, much less video, but watching her cover territory I've traveled as agilely and quickly as she did gave me a real appreciation for her athleticism from a relatively safe vantagepoint!
      Ironically, I know the date of the bear interaction because it was my wedding anniversary. After driving to Montana for our honeymoon, we returned to the most glorious splendor of Fall in our mountains I can still recall though, admittedly, I had really missed our trees. I believe we have managed to make it an annual tradition for most of the 21 years we've been married...until this year. We didn't know it would be the last time my mother was able to be close to her "pretty place"...really the end of an era in so many ways and my heart, body, and soul yearn for a visit. I haven't given up hope yet but, either way, I think I may have missed a sign but appreciate the reminder now!

    I get rats, grey squirrels, neighbourhood cats and the odd sneaky fox, once or twice there have been wood mice.
    What amazing creatures.
