This coyote watched, enthralled, as a dog chewed this big stick. Immediately after the dog left, the coyote carefully sniffed out the stick, grabbed it and attempted dragging it around a little. The coyote never actually settled down to chew it, though, as the dog had been doing. Notice that in the third slide the coyote is ready to take off — lickety-split . This is because the dog, which had not wandered too far, turned around and looked! On departing — last slide — the coyote urinated on the stick (I was only able to capture the coyote finishing up this activity), marking it as belonging to itself!!
