Login with FacebookCoyote with Mange
report
When I first spotted this coyote he was moving out of the tall grasses so I did not notice his condition until I saw him from the side. He appeared to be happy and quite energetic even though the mange is infecting him. I could not help but feel sorry for the coyote.

Excellent shot, he stands out so well here too. It's just sad to see what he's coping with and we can only imagine how uncomfortable it must be for him. I've seen the odd coyote with this condition in past years here and it's always a reminder of how harsh life can be for them and the moose who get ticks. Very well captured, Debra..
I feel bad for the coyote, but the photo tells a story, and one a lot of people don't know. Love the simplicity Debra.
what a great shot of this poor coyote, the details are spot on. Thanks for posting
Thanks very much Yves for your comments, always appreciated. At first I thought maybe a spring shed. But when I zoomed up on the area around his ribs and belly there is even saw raw skin showing. When I googled mange it said that the tail is usually the first to lose all the hair.
Love the purified style of that photo Debra. The coyote shows sharp details and he realy pops out over the pale sky and field colours. Could it be that he is changing fur colour for the summer one? Very nice photo.
