Felonious foxes, mischievous marmots, dog meets wolf and a chat with the tooth fairy - High Country News
"But after a fox at Lizard Creek Campground started absconding with footwear - some 32 shoes as of July 11 - "Wanted: For Grand Theft Footwear" posters began to appear, the Jackson Hole News&Guide reported. Park officials have not determined exactly what the klepto-critter - aka "Swiper the Fox," "the Sneaker Snatcher" or "the Midnight Mismatcher" - is doing with the shoes."
"The wolf was noshing on a carcass near the road when a German shepherd leaped out of a passing car and took off after it. Lyons' photos show the dog chasing the wolf down the road while a different tour guide tries to catch up with it. Another photo shows the two canines facing off, less than 15 feet apart, with the wolf refusing to back down."
