OMG, Haro! You've had more than your share with raccoons! Those sound like adults, but babies do grow up ....
I have red foxes in my area. See them pretty often, even saw one cross road then into the corn field mile away. I did not bring my 27 head of laying hens when I moved 2 years ago because of the frequence of seeing the foxes, and knowing they would dig into my coop and kill them all. Besides, they laid WAY too many eggs for me to get rid of. They sure loved the way I cared for them, I guess. I hate throwing things away now, thinking how the chickens would have loved that rotten tomato, or watermelon rind. Now I have to rethink about what the koi may enjoy!
Do I have to worry about the fox fishing in my pond??? Again, I have dogs, and the beagle stays outside. I've never seen the fox close to my house, and I do have the farm pond for them to go fishing in. Just wondering. I'm searching for a big dog, trying to decide what breed still - German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Doberman .... whatever it is it needs to be VERY people friendly, not aggressive, but hate other animals coming into my yard .... except for the neighbor's jack russell, who is welcome just like my Bostons are welcome to visit her!
My goodness, JW, I would think that whale would get tired of jumping like that after a bit! LOL
