Standard coyote toys in this area seem to include golfballs and pinecones. In the two photo sequences here, each of these items was chewed, pawed and rubbed over. After playing with the pinecone for less than a minute, it was urinated on, or “marked” — so that the next guy would know who had been there — and then abandoned when the coyote wandered off. The golf-ball appeared to be a more special find: it was played with for a much longer period of time and then guarded, rather proudly, before the coyote left it. I’ve noticed that golfballs have become particularly special as toys recently.
