I think every naturalist in the United States knows the outlines of this urban tale: The pristine marshes of New Jersey are poisoned by pollution, toxic waste, pig farms, and probably every single way in which human beings can destroy the environment. I really don’t bird Northern New Jersey as often as I should.)

Your dog’s wild cousins such as the dingo and the coyote need to use their cleverness to find and capture food.
