Leave them be, but maybe keep an eye on your cats or small dogs.

We see foxes all the time in our neighborhood in Baton Rouge. I think Fox Finders of Baton Rouge still maps the sightings around here.

Lately, there have been multiple coyote sightings in our neighborhood. Kind of cool, but would probably freak me out a bit if I saw one in my back yard.

Foxes are all over. Dont call animal control, they are harmless. I see them regularly when jogging around the LSU lakes before sunrise.

They are still actively monitoring the foxes.

Leave him be. Are you scared of it? It's probably just looking for food.

Well, duh:





I can't figure out how to copy pics off the Nextdoor site, but the pictures posted kind of look like this:



King of like a medium-sized dog with a longish nose.

I heard somewhere that foxes live in a family setting with, mom,dad, and kids all living in the same den. Sometimes the kids live with the parents forever if they dont mate.

It's a wild animal. It knows how to survive and is likely smarter than you

I wouldn't call anyone unless you see some issues develop. they are pretty good at keeping rats, snakes, etc. at bay.

however, if you have outside cats or something like that, there may be some issues.
