HOMPSO Big Bend of Rio Grande April 5-6, 1934 Coyotes (C. l. texensis or C. micropus) possibly both species, are common and are of course limited. One (appears like C. micropus to me) was killed by a gas station perhaps 30 miles south of the Chisos. Gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus zeotii)? common in the region. Three were confined in a pen at the same gas station. Gray or lobo wolf (Canis mexicanus vulpinus) was once common in the region. It is several years since any have been reported according to my information. Most of them were killed prior to 1920. Swift or kit fox (probably Vulpesvexata) neomexicana) reported to be in the region. No book which I have seen however gives its range in Big Bend, although Barton places it about as near as Presidio. Bobcats (sp.? ) are reported common. Cougars (Felis concolor azteca) have been hunted and killed in the region since white man first came. They are probably very scarce now. No one seemed to know anything about ocelots or jaguars. Beavers (Castor canadensis mexicanus) reported along the Rio Grande. Jackrabbits (Lepus californicus texianus)
