Dogs
Dogs are everywhere, whether they are someone's pet or just wild. They are not mean, but they do tend to run in packs. I saw a bunch of large ones playing on a sand mound. They wanted to play with some little dogs, but they were driven off by the scrappy little guys.
Sometimes Soldiers and Marines shoot them so their barking does not give away their position; it's rather unsavory, I know.
One benefit is that I can use them as a gauge when I'm scanning my sector with my night vision; if I can see dogs moving around, then I figure I can see guerrillas moving around. Sometimes the dogs sneak up on us and I wonder if a guerilla could do the same.
