The law of tooth and claw

Although we live in a suburban development, it is hemmed in on all sides by forests and marsh land. Danger lurks in the shadows of the woods. Just yesterday, while walking to the mailboxes, we narrowly escaped being mauled by this unidentified, but obviously savage, beast (click to enlarge - if you dare).
