A small piece of advise for everyone visiting Yellowstone National Park: always glance behind you while looking for wildlife.
Even if you are already watching big creatures, this could be fruitful.
The photos that go with this post feature a coyote that I took last May while viewing a cinnamon black bear and its two cubs alongside a road with dozens of other people.
Maybe eighty yards from the road, the bears were situated on a forested slope.
Ahead of us, across the street, and barely perceptible from a distance of forty yards, was the coyote.
It was until later that night that I noticed a smaller animal observing the coyote in the picture.
Can you identify and locate the animal?
Of course, not many visitors name coyotes as a top sighting.
But the fact that this coyote was moving and so near to so many people who were unaware it was there intrigued me.
