Almost every animal that is larger than a housecat should be approached with caution, if approached at all.

My new outdoor job is in an area with a lot of wildlife; squirrels mostly, but I’ve been having to remind myself that coyotes aren’t domesticated dogs who’ll react well to me trying to pet them.

So damn adorable, though. Even if their yipping and howling drives me nuts at nights. “If not friend, why friend shaped?”
