I saw was a large black thing in the road as I got closer I realized it was a baby cat (it was too big to be a domestic cat). I drove my car around it and slammed the breaks. On the shoulder was the Mama panther pacing back and forth making a loud whinny sound. It was amazing to see one so close, but sad because she was morning the loss of her baby. My favorite Florida animal is the Gopher Tortoise, I live on an acre in North Florida and have two tortoises calling my yard home. It is the best feeling knowing these tortoises are safe with me.

I live in the suburb of a large city and several yeqrs ago a coyote would come visit me just to "hang out". Often when I returned home in the evening, when I parked my car she would pop up out of the bushes and be sitting in the headlights. I got concerned for her well-being... and the well-being of neighborhood lets... because of her lack of fear of people. Much as I tried to discourage her, she would come sit nearby and sometimes even nod off. She was young and probably just leaving her family to strike out on her own. Sometimes she was silly. One day she found a tennis ball and was tossing it around playing fetch by herself. Another time all I could see of her was four paws sticking up out of tall grass. She had made herself a nice, shady bed and was fast asleep. After two or three months of nearly daily visits, she stopped coming around. I was hopeful that she had wandered off into the nearby hills and was living a proper coyote life.

I do think that usually coyotes get a bad rap as well but I must say some 12 or so years ago I went coyote hunting with a group of people.(Pause there for a moment so I can give some background.) There was an overpopulation of coyotes in the area. They were so bold when we had fires they would pace just around the firelight sometimes as many as a dozen or even more. Also they were extremely large for coyotes with one in particular having footprints as large or larger than our Newfie cross. I'm inclined to believe they were coy-wolves or even just wolves but the ones I saw in daylight always looked like coyotes. Anyway they were overpopulated and eating local livestock and the deer population was plummetting.This was in the Midwest btw. So we go hunting one winter evening out in a 300 acre field surrounded by woods on two sides. There's maybe 8-10 of us. 4-5 with guns, 2 with walkies and calls and 2 with massive lights. I was holding one of the spotlights. We split into two groups sitting a ways apart sitting back to back to cover both wooded areas. Taking turns calling. We saw nothing. We gave up and headed back. I'd never been hunting coyotes before. It was a very crisp winter night and we walked around a mile from the house to the middle of the field. I was wearing my boyfriend's boots because I forgot my own. I doubled the socks trying to help them fit better. They didn't. On the way back I would feel the blisters on top of blisters. I also began to have an asthma attack brought on by the bitter cold air. As we walked I fell further behind the main group and then behind everyone. I was gasping and just trying to make it back for my inhaler. I had a funny feeling and shined the woods closest to me. I saw no less than 10 pairs of eyes. Following me. They were hunting me. I was scared. I began to wonder if they'd attack and kill me or would they wait for me to die from asthma. I knew in that moment I was weak. Injured and struggling to breathe. Ahead of me I heard my boyfriend ask where I was and a friend of mine asked too. They turned and saw me and came running back. I told them what I saw between deep breaths. They rushed me to the house for my inhaler. My heels took probably two months to fully heal. My inhaler worked. I've never been coyote hunting again. I don't underestimate coyotes. I don't fear them but I do respect them. When you have something growling at you from the firelight and then you become the hunted it gives you a different perspective.
