A Coyote (Or Was It A Jackal)?
Author: siggyI spotted it on the edge of the woods last night. I angled my car a little so my spotlights could shine on it better. It was dog shaped with big ears. It did not run away but simply backed into the forest a little. I immediately called a friend and described the animal to him. ”Yep, you saw a coyote.” I was not convinced though and went online the next day to see pictures. I was puzzled it looked more like a jackal (with its over sized ears) than a coyote but they are not native to this area. I decided to call my friend back to question him again.
