As we were driving along the highway this afternoon we saw the cutest tiniest coyote pup coming down the bank of grass towards the busy road. Then we spotted another coming out of the bushes following the first....
We drove along the road a little and I was saying 'OMG OMG they are going to get hit by a car!!' so Lloyd kind of sighed and rolled his eyes and said 'come on then, lets go rescue some coyotes!' so he turned the car around and we headed back towards the pups, pulled up alongside them and saw a third coming down beside the road as well. We opened the window and I started clapping loudly...two of them ran into the bushes again but the first one, who seemed a little too brave for his own good, just stood and looked at us, so Lloyd got out of the car and ran up towards it and I beeped the horn - and then it ran away....away from the busy highway and hopefully will be a little more wary of busy roads, people and cars in future!
But OMG these little coyote pups were the cutest things EVER - like tiny little grey foxes with that cute coyote face.....you can see pictures of coyote pups like the ones we saw here:
