Coyotes can look quite different from each other depending upon which part of the country they are from. Those in the southern California deserts are more wily and scrappy looking, whereas the ones in Yellowstone appear more full bodied (mostly because of their thick fur). Out here in the east, we get coywolfs, which have their own subtle differences in appearance. This guy was photographed in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in California. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 340mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/800th of a second.
What a beauty it is! Bright eyed, ears on high alert, smile on its face & I LOVE that tongue hanging out with a drop of moisture on the tip. Nicely captured, Sean!
