A Greensboro man is recovering after an "intense" encounter with a wild animal on Saturday. His experience is one of at least three separate animal attacks documented near Lake Brandt over the weekend. About 2 p.m. on Saturday, Scott Durham was nearing the end of the Nat Greene Trail at Lake Brandt Marina when he spotted what he says was either a fox or a small coyote. He was about 100 yards from the marina â so close he could hear people talking in the parking lot. Durham, who was alone, said the animal was gray and weighed around 35 or 40 pounds. "It was on the trail about 20 yards in front of me, walking toward me," Durham said. "It wasn't showing any signs of aggression. The fur on the back wasn't sticking up. It wasn't baring any teeth. It was walking normally."
