We often camp in the New Forest, where ponies wander around freely. I've seen them put their noses under flysheets to see if they can smell food, and I once came back to the site to find the couple camped near us had a hole in the side of their brand new tent because horses had ripped it to get at the food left inside. Hence we now keep all our food in the back of the car.
That's exactly what put me off keeping food in the tent! That and the squirrel that got in our (pre-SIG) tent, helped himself to some bread and took a bite out of every apple.
