Canis latrans
I found this dead coyote in a swampy area near a pond, so its remains were not in good condition.

Wow, great find! Please consider adding this spotting to the "Identifying Animals Through Osteology" Mission! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8475...
It is intriguing to study skeletal remains of wildlife. How and why did it die and why there, etc!
It is a little disturbing, but I always try to take a closer look at animal remains when I find them... I was interested to see how narrow this little coyote's hips were, and how big its head was compared to the rest of its body.
Somewhat disturbing, but very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Gruesome! I do like the black and white though.
