The #coyote #Canis #latrans is widespread in North America and expands also into human #cities. It engages in opportunistic #hunting #cooperations with the American #badger #Taxidea #taxus, allowing both to capture more #groundsquirrels #Urocitellus #armatus. D. Thornton et al. (2018) used #cameratraps to document these interactions.

🥥 It's #Caturday, Timotei.
Take the hint to enroll a mouser or two into your home defense forces, my friend.
The rats will have the roof off your charming #Cornwall cottage in a trice if not repelled with dispatch.
I speak as someone whose home was invaded by #GroundSquirrels.
Some of them still dwell in my cranium years later! 🥥
