The first and third show the best coloring. But, yes, they are absolutely beautiful animals.

Wow! Lovely animal! How are they "to work with"? Do they behave and socialize like dogs?

Very cool!

If you don't mind my asking: Why did you have to give her away?

Beutiful animal. My uncle use to keep Wolves as pets. Some of the nicest looking "dogs" IMHO. Shame you had to give up the Coyote. Did it turn aggressive on you?

She was a resident animal of a nature center I used to work at. We rehabilitated injured animals and released them, and the ones that could not be released we kept. However, some times zoos would call and ask for a specific animal. If we had one we gave them to the zoos in order to make more room for other animals. One day a zoo called looking for a young female coyote and she fit the bill. The zoo is 5 hours away and I have only visited her once, but she seems to be doing ok. Her enclosure is nicer, but smaller, and she now has a companion.

Working with coyotes is like working with socialized dogs, but with out the socialization. They are still wild, but most of them (I worked with 3) tolerate people. She was very playful and never aggressive (although she did grab my throat once, but that was an accident).
