Had Amazing Interaction With This Animal

but do to my error, not one of the images came out clear. Still, with her quick moves and playfulness, you can see how she was interacting to some degree. I think she actually got a bit peeved when I continued down the hill to turn around. She came onto the roadway and watched me turn around and then ran back to where she was first spotted grabbing a cup lid in her mouth like a Frisbee and did all sorts of playful jesters. At one point I got a bit nervous and put my window all the way up. She didn't like that at all. Prior, she had acted alike she was charging the car, then backed off and got playful again. Still, these images will serve date and time and be a storyboard of our meeting along the way. She is the first coyote that I have seen in the park in about a year, and fourth encounter with one in the past 10 years. They are all over the park but lay low during the day. The neighbors all hear them at night when they communicate with each other across  and around the lake.

Look at the beautiful fox-like tale. She seems to be very healthy with no mange.

I wish that I could understand what animals are thinking. Over the years watching animals almost daily, one begins to see a deeper meeting to their actions and how they must be so misunderstood by us humans. After all, we are an animal ourselves. And while we are blessed with a brain to reason, we don't always use it that way when people put cats and pups in bags and toss them along side a road or even in the water. That is just cruel for a brain that is designed to do better than that, don't you see?
