Coyotes are more prevalent than foxes in the US, I think. I've seen foxes in the woods but not in towns.

I prefer the long, undulating howl of the wolf but the distant yip, yip, yip of the coyote also gives one a glimpse into an other universe.

The word is that Juneau Alaska now has at least one pack of coyotes in the mountains and valleys above the city.

We have more numerous stories involving bears, though.
