But these creatures are huge, and the males can easily reach 70 kilograms.
Even Tian Kui would be outmatched.
So, after thinking it over, it seemed better to just pick on some coyotes.
Alternatively, there were other animals with large territories.
North American Grizzly Bears, for instance. They wander all over and are highly intelligent.
But with an animal like that, Shen Xin felt he'd first need to tame a Northeast Tiger, or maybe go to Africa and wrangle a silverback gorilla, before he'd dare to challenge one.
In a corner of the yard, an area was sectioned off to keep the four coyotes.
Coyotes have proliferated to the point of being a nuisance. In the United States, there are even competitions for hunting them, with prize money awarded to whoever kills the most.
It seemed that with a little taming, they could be turned into guard dogs.
