I live in suburbia, and we have a red fox, grey fox and a coyote living in
our area. All the them sharing the same territory, keeping the rabbit
population in check.

You mentioned that you have fox. An outdoorsman I know told me, you can
have fox or coyote, but not both. Apparently, coyote will kill foxes.
Bear are becoming quite common here and are a joy to see, but are a
little
spooky to me. They have never shown any aggression to me, but neither do
they seem to fear me. I'm not used to that. I prefer wild animals,
especially large wild animals with big teeth, to fear me.

I don't know about that. Mrs. E and I enjoy coffee in the morning sitting
in
the garage with the doors open, watching the wild life making their way
across our property. In addition to regular visits by deer and rabbits, we
have seen a coyote from time to time as well as a little fox that visits
once or twice a week. The funniest sight is the wild turkeys. They fly,
but not very well. Landings are your basic controlled crash.
