Hmmm - I've had cows (not a problem landing/TO, but no fun when you're the
dogsbody and have to hose down the resulting underwing and tail decorations
on customer's aircraft)

But I have had foxes (specialized in moving themselves at the last possible
moment, except for about once a year)

and Coyotes, who just refuse to budge regardless, until they feel ready.
Even ignored a proper beat up by a cropdusting Hiller whilst I circled
waitng for a clear runway...
