Have you heard of this site/blog/book that began as private, daily email photo's of an orphaned coyote? It has become quite an internet phenomenon. In anycase, some here might appreciate the beautiful photography of Wyoming ranching country that is home to this canid family member.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Sweet,
Nice photography too.
Now the pup can grow up to be hit by a car or shot by a nieghbor.
Coyotes do not make good pets, they are very smart and sooner or later instinct takes over.
Still a heart warming story even if I believe wild things should remain wild.

No, and she has had to put up an electric fence to protect Charlie, when you get the time, read the story first, and you probably won't be so quick to judge. She doesn't advocate coyotes as pets, and she would not do it again, even. But it is a commitment she has accepted rather than his death, as Charle would never survive in the wild. I see it as we get to share his life and beauty and story that makes his life an exception, as something extraordinay. Because as we get to know this coyote, we learn to cherish and protect them, too. Didn't post this to be controversial, just trying to share the beauty.

I despise coyotes.  I had a pack that came through my place almost nightly for a year.  It got the the point I did not want to go to  my barn and see which bird or cat had been torn apart the night before.  I don't mean to be controversial either, just stating my experience and resulting feelings about them.

You could release Charlie right now into the back country and he would survive.
The Coyote is an amazing creature.  We had been trying to eradicate them for years and never even put a dent in them.
People here used to raise them to sell as pets, along with Cougars.   Many problems resulted.
Not knocking your post at all.    I just know Coyotes.
No fence can hold them, and all the bonding in the world won't replace their natural instincts.
They are true survivors, there is beauty in that as well.
On another note Animules, a friend had a problem with Coyotes and his pigs, and this was one of the people who raised Coyotes and coons, fox and mink.  He bought a Cougar and kept it in a pen behind his barn.  Just the scent kept the wild Coyotes away, scared the hell out of them and they had never even seen a Cougar...  Instincts !
My dog keeps the Coyotes at bay here, thats one of her jobs.

Two Moons, I don't think so, he would be shot! His parents were both shot for killing sheep from a govenmnent program. Then the pups were searchered for, found and killed, except for some reason he was spared. She was given a choice, care for him or he could join his brothers and sisters. Supposedly there are good and bad ways for controlling coyote numbers.

Back here in the East, our coyotes are even bigger, a relatively new predator for civilized New Englanders. A zookeeper here said that was because there is wolf DNA in our eastern coyotes, who have successfully filled the predator niche missing since the eradication of wolves. Mother nature, she's always busy it seems!

Moons, the pack I had coming through at that time was seen by a couple different neighbors.  There were over a dozen in it.  That pack also killed a few neighbor dogs that were out at night.  My dogs sleep inside at night.

I now have a smaller pack coming through and have lost a couple barn cats and some of my turkeys and geese this year.  My dogs will keep sleeping inside. 

They have a reason and a purpose,with out our interference nature would take care of its self.I hear coyotes running the hills all the time on a hot summer night.sounds nice,like they are happy and laughing .I hope they keep on running.LOL
