Only in Texas….haha
In South Texas, there truly are field mice that are carnivorous and they stand on their hind legs, put their heads back and howl like a wolf.
They are loud, nocturnal predators, heard up to 100 yards away. This is not from a script for a Sci-Fi horror movie. We’ve heard their calls in the grassy utility right-of-way behind our house. We did not know what the critters were until Karen Benson, fellow Master Naturalist, encountered them and researched their background. Here’s her story.
