WilyCoyote

Neighbours have lost pets to coyotes and fishercats. Both species hunt in packs and are relentless. The underneath is a happy ending to a terrifying attack:

Jesus, you're so bitter? And you can do this? There is no pleasing some quadrupeds!

Natural History of Canis Lupus (the Grey Wolf)


Reproduction
After a courtship that may last from days to months, wolves copulate during estrus, which occurs once per year and lasts 5-14 days. The receptive period may be as early as January in low latitudes or as late as April in high latitudes. During copulation the pair remains coupled for as long as 30 minutes, during which ejaculation occurs many times. Gestation lasts 63 days, and litters average six young. The young are born blind and helpless, usually in an underground burrow. The same den may be used year after year ( Mech, 1999).
The female usually stays near the young for at least three weeks. During this time, the male and other pack members hunt and feed her and the pups. The pups' eyes open between 11 and 15 days of age, and they are weaned when 9 weeks old. Healthy pups join adults in their travels as early as October. In the wild, wolves do not breed until they are 2, 3, or 4 years of age. Both sexes may continue to breed through at least 10 years of age (Mech, 1999).

Longevity
In the wild, wolves can live to be about 16 years of age (Mech, 1999).
Terrestrial Ecology
The wolf is a social animal, usually living in packs of 5-10 members, although packs of up to 36 have been reported. Generally wolf packs contain a set of parents (the "alpha pair") and some of the offspring of their past 2-3 litters.
Wolves are primarily predators on ungulates, beavers, and hares, although almost any species of animal may be eaten, including any type of domestic animal.

Predators and Defense
Humans are the only enemy of gray wolves.

You've been warned before about sipping too much chilled Prune Juice for breakfast

In light of this thread, should we send the Rotweiller to Australia to fend against the dingo's?

Just to show there are no hard feelings?

'Chihuahua' is the Spanish translation of a native American word for 'little rat dog'

'Rottweiler' is German word for rat (rott) catcher (weiler)

In this case the rat catcher saved the rat.
