Coyote

One of the strangest close encounters I have ever had was in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming/Montana, USA. A coyote started following me down the road and then sat next to me, like a pet, as I photographed other coyotes at a kill. Once the other coyotes had their fill and left, my friend sauntered down to the carcass and tore into it with such blood-thirsty enthusiasm, I was shaken out of my complacency and remembered this was an A predator.
