Coyote-the Four-legged Kind

Coyotes are very popular wildlife in West Virginia. They are a medium sized animal with large ears. The Eastern Coyote appears to have rounder ears than the Western Coyote possess.

Even though, the coyote looks like a dog, do not approach it. The canine can be as dangerous as many of the other animals found among the wild.

James and Carolyn went on the search of the West Virginia Coyote, because James wanted to take a photograph of one. He used his powerful zoom lens to capture this early morning photo. Often the coyote isn't as handsome as this big boy.




The Coyote below, which James saw from the attic room at McKeel's Bed and Breakfast, was what prompted the hunt.

James didn't want to admit that those glowing eyes were a bit frightening. If these animals were around Washington DC, he had never seen them. Carolyn laughed really hard, when James described the glowing eyes to her.

These coyotes are easier heard than seen, but if you are patient and look closely you will see them.
