Craig Tooley was driving down Longmeadow Road when he spotted this Coyote, Canis latrans.
It looks pretty healthy and is probably feeding on the many Sea Ranch Gophers.
Here's another photo Craig took of a Coyote some time ago.
Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is his website: www.ruffimage.com
A healthy Coyote has been seen recently on The Sea Ranch. Joni Goshorn took this photo of the handsome animal in November.
Their scientific name is Canis latrans, which means barking dog in Latin.Their favorite food is small mammals. The Sea Ranch has plenty of gophers to feed the resident Bobcats and this Coyote.
Thanks to Joni for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
Once in a while a Coyote will wander into the Mendonoma Coast. Patty McBratney saw this Coyote on The Sea Ranch.
Canis latrans is its Latin name, which means barking dog. I wonder what caught this Coyote's eye. Patty was struck by the red highlights of this canine's coat. Coyotes are extremely intelligent and can live in the wild to about ten years.
Thanks to Patty for allowing me to share her photo wit you here.
