A Hurt Animal

Week 12 Corps of Rediscovery 2002

I did not choose to discover animals when I wrote the blog about what I wanted to discover and what my talents would be on the trip, but today I was forced to. Not to long after the time of my last journal entrie did I run into a limping animal. I was riding my bike casually until Roxy pointed out an animal in the dog family. It was limping and he was licking his wounds on his leg. I wanted to help it but when I got near it just slowly trodded away. The saddest part was that it looked fairly young and was completely alone besides us there. I wish I could have helped the sad creature.

  1. Dear Corps,

    This truly happened to me after taking pictures by the cactus. My job for you animal experts (Christian ,T.J. ,Jonothan...) is to identify this animal. As far as I could see it looked somewhere between a wolf, a cyote, and a fox.

  2. I know it may be hard but the tail might give it away. I have more pictures if you need them...
