Lions and Tigers and Bears - Oh My!
Right, that line crossed my mind too!
Another news article I saw told how wolves/foxes/coyotes are running about in Trenton, the little city that is our state capitol. That’s an urban area, not even suburbia. Bricks and pavement. There’s a picture of some critter, big as a wolf, looks like a ‘yote, but is colored almost like a red fox. Go figure. Crossbreed, a new animal filling a niche, evolution in action; a “coy dog” they were being called some years back IIRC.
Sounds more like you like in OZ.
Lions and tigers and Bears Oh My.
At least you don’t have Chubacaras.
