In the rural areas mostly there are some sightings of some cougars passing through but there is no breeding groups. Bobcat and lynx are living here. An occasional bear in the suburbs.

I live in a very urban area but we have coyote, fox, and deer that frequent our neighborhood. We have many people raising hens of all sorts, many small dogs on the loose with many feral house cats too, but we also live close to major rivers that all kinds of wildlife lives because of parks and refuge along the rivers. I've relocated many squirrels for the bald eagles and hawks making a comeback in those areas.

I rescued a baby possum that was abandoned on my patio this spring. I think my dog spooked the mom as she was relocating.

Big cats are more likely to hunt small animals more than humans. Keep your poodles and yorkies inside.

When I lived in Florida gators liked the poodles and yorkies too.
