Coyote

This coyote scared the heck out of me when I was taking pictures in the desert with my dogs.  We weren't far from the horse corals.  You can see part of the River Mountain Water Treatment Facility in the background.

Coyotes

Coyote are quite prevalent in the desert next to housing developments. They prey on domesticated cats and dogs. We have lost two cats. Sometimes early in the morning before dawn you can hear them howling.  They can easily jump six-feet fences and attack dogs in their own yards.
