I don't know, but I don't think I'd want to mess with the one doing the chasing. I know aluminum is fairly soft, but goodness, that's a lot of chewing! Kind of reminds me of Jaws from the James Bond movies....maybe this creature also has stainless steel teeth!

I'm not sure if gators go after gutters in the night....that's all we'd need.... ;) Glad I'm not nocturnal! There's so many creatures out at night, I'm surprised there's room for humans... :)

Most likely that's what happened, especially since there were bunny remains found.

I'm sure there are coyotes in our community and the surrounding land. They find lots of food in areas human live in....sometimes trash, sometimes pet food, sometimes even the pets.

They actually are very pretty creatures, but I like to make sure I'm a very safe distance from them.

One day when we lived in CA, a rather large and well fed it appeared, coyote came walking down our street. It was in the middle of the road. A lady driving her car approached the canine and it stopped, right in the middle of the road and would not move. Our neighborhood roads were narrow and this car could not go around the coyote and it continued to stand its ground. The driver ended up backing up, turning the car around and heading back in the direction she came from. That animal was not going to move and it was a good sized creature. Wild doggie type beasts have the right of way as far as I'm concerned!

Thanks pooh.... great gutter threads, great pictures, amazing...

Now I am perplexed..... Am I more comfortable with the fact that something is out there that needs a bite so bad it chews downspouts or was I more comfortable with my previous thinking that some nut was stealing downspouts....

I know one thing, I am less comfortable leaving my kitty cats on the lanaii after dark now.....:shocked:

Personally, I'm more comfortable with the nut stealing downspouts.... ;)

We've got predators swooping down from the skies (hawk did a great job of that and decided that my girlfriend's yard was its dining area), feral cats, wild dogs?, gators, possible Skunk Apes and some beast that doesn't find metal difficult to chew!!! We're going to have to set up lookout posts....:icon_wink:

Keep your kitties safe!
