I videoed the very end of this wiggle-and-scratch session:
I’ve been observing and documenting coyotes and their behavior for over 11 years now. Watching and hearing them is always thrilling, no matter that I see them almost every single day. I try to post photos and information that people can appreciate, enjoy and relate to so that they will be more willing to embrace these very maligned, but truly interesting and very family minded small canids. In this series here, you have a male coyote who is attempting to relieve his bug itches. It made me smile, and hopefully it will make you do the same.
