They’ve always co-existed with these predators, but they have to give way to them.
They didn't coexist with brown bears and wolves in Alaska until they were like "let's go to Alaska!" They weren't in Ontario until the 50's Even when Ontario black bear populations became unmanageably large coyote populations still grew.

they don’t compete with black bears for the same resources as often like they do with wolves, they had existed with brown bears in the past in the American Southwest. Their population density is much less where there are large wolf populations, they congregate most densely where there are no wolves.

I think you're missing my point. If it were natural for coyotes to coexist with brown bears in Alaska, they'd have lived there with the wolves and bears for thousand of years before hand.

Agriculture definitely plays a factor, but coyotes don't generally compete for food with large predators, because they aren't large predators.

I get your point bruv. They are the jackal of
North America, and wolves don’t like
jackals either. What you are not factoring in is that as they became the dominant predator in their home range and their population grew they were literally forced to move into these new territories. But the conditions for the successful explosion of their population were facilitated by the creation of suitable and preferred habitat and then the elimination of the apex predator from their range. This is mostly a blowback from that.

Honestly the wild pitbull or rooster should be our state animal.

I had a stray pit mix attack my bully recently. They were biting eachothers faces and I landed a kick on that dogs floating rib that made it pee on the spot. I threw that shit like Barboza throws a legkick. We jump anything in pompano
Didn't you move to Broward from Miami-Dade County in 1990 when pitbulls were banned there?

lueVelvet @lueVelvet I saw a video on this FL trapper's IG story of an invasive knight anole (Anolis equestris) he killed that had eaten one of our native skinks (I'd read about them preying on smaller lizard species but researchers said it was rare). The video triggered me so badly that I'm planning on buying a pellet gun and killing ever knight anole I see.

@Bones Nose google "Cuban knight anole" and you can join me.

No it's not an iguana. Yes I'm sure.

This one works great, I use it for rabbits in the garden.....once I get my can's though I'll just use a real rifle.

Hey, they're invasive and as long as they're not on ENP land, have at it. I do think they're wicked cool lizards and I'm sure they don't do much damage to the environment (unlike feral cats, monitors, tegus etc). They're much like the wild Chameleons out in Ft Meyers, Naples, Everglades City etc, they just eat up more bugs and that's something we definitely don't have a shortage of.

If you're feeling frisky, you can try to capture a few and send them my way. I can sell them to hobbyists in those fly over states who think they're the most exotic thing they've ever seen. lol

I may do that. I've perfected lizard noosing so I can easily capture one. They're super aggressive and bite mildly hard but I imagine they'll be too intimidated by me to even fucking try that shit.

Or you can wear a gardening glove, if your pride allows that. I use gloves when handling any of my snakes. It sucks typing with snake bites on your fingers so I figure it's a job hazard to risk it.

Oh and I cut those two palm stumps down at least 8 months ago.

Blatant act of disrespect on my part and that little bitch still hasn't done shit about it.
