I had an unusual sighting a couple of years ago at my house in Bedford NH.I went into my backyard,which is surounded by acres of woodland,and saw an animal I had never seen before.It looked like a wolf of fox but nothing like I had seen in the past.It was staring at my cat,who was doing the same to it.My cat ran up the tree for cover and after watching this animal for a while I approached it to shoe it away.I told the cat she was a smart girl for running up the tree to safety.Off to the computor to look online for an animal that fit the desription.It turns out that this was a gray fox which is not a very comman thing to see.But my big surprize was that this is one of the only canides that is a great tree climber!Who would have known.I will have to talk to the cat about this situation.
