Perhaps someone fed this coyote. Or, maybe dropped some food by accident. For that matter, the smell of food may have been present. Whatever the case, I photographed this coyote – a smaller species of canine closely related to the wolf, native to North America – loitering near a parking area in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.

Beautiful! I have a love/hate feeling towards the coyote, I have to respect them from natures perspective, but hate them when they kill our pets!
So true, Tiffany ~ they are a real problem with pets, very sad indeed.
