The Wag

It was impossible to focus through the tall grasses. The camera’s automatic focus kept choosing the grass instead of the tail. Oh, well. You get the idea. This fellow was hunting. Most of the time when coyotes hunt, their tails are not this active. The coyote did catch a meal — maybe the fast tail helped?!

That’s a really cool clip! It makes the tail look quite bushy. Is that accurate?

  Glad you liked the clip! Except for the early summer months, yes, coyote tails are pretty bushy. This clip was actually taken on May 5th — there is still a lot of the winter fluff left.
