Description
Almost to the low point of Death Valley and this coyote has been with me for about two hours. Very friendly - I think that it was the "beef jerky" that kept his interest. He stayed on his side of that yellow line the entire time except to share a drink of water right out of my hand. I don't think that I was the first to do that.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous comments & favs.

You are a brave one. Letting a Coyote drink right from your hand? Nice capture, looks as if he is unsure of the camera.

Coyotes can be quite forward, and we have some here. They will enter right into a building looking for food and water. The drought conditions bring them down from the hills. Excellent capture.

Oh Dana, how precious! A real cool looking dude! LOL @ the beef jerky!!! That is probably what made him so attached! A very neat image of this fellow!!! :)

It's tough for him to find water there! I'm glad you gave him a drink - I would have done the same. Animals understand the proffered food or drink very well and they are seldom as dangerous as some make them out to be. On a hot day butterflies will come to your hand for a drink and they've never bitten me yet!

ohhh a wonderful capture! Lucky you to have such a fantastic companion! interesting that he was drinking out of your hand! wow! ;o)

Quite a capture to be sure, Dana! I saw a fox do the same thing on Mount Rainier a few years ago. Kinda sad, though, to see wild animals like this reduced to begging food from humans.

Awesome capture! I had a coyote for as dog when I lived in Harbison Canyon, California. He was abandoned in the hills as a pup so I took him home and raised him. Friends took him in when I moved from California, I sure miss him!

when I left DV on the way to Scotty's there was one also.I was not brave like you. I am afraid of a wild animal being wild and also a big chance of rabies.excellent shot. were you walking?

Great shot. Imagine trying to subsist from the slim pickings of the desert...but obviously, he finds enough to keep going. I am surprised he drank from your hand.

Superb!

What a wonderful experience looks like you were good for each other, the nearest I've got to that is stroking a wolf but he was tame and on a lead.
