Favorite coyote quote:
“It is my personal belief that when the last human has fallen, and the last skull lies on the irradiated earth, a coyote will come trotting out of some safe place. Don’t ask me where he’ll come from; but I believe that he will survive as he has always survived. The coyote will trot in his furtive, skulking manner, to the skull. He will approach it carefully with the caution borne of millenia of avoiding steel traps and snares and pitfall. He will cautiously sniff it. His educated nose will tell him that he no longer has anything to fear from the bleached remnant of a once great civilization. Taking a few short steps to get in the exact position, he will lift his leg.”

Oh, yorkie! That is too funny!
The only thing left out of that description is the part about the coyote slapping paws, er, legs? with the cockroach and them laughing like the Geico squirrels!
Very interesting, yorkie! Those howls are bone chilling and to think you hear those a lot.....wow~~~!
