I finally got video of the coyotes that live nearby singing! We are a wildlife friendly farm, and the coyotes tend to leave the farm animals alone, instead going after wild prey.

I am really happy with today's coyote for the Zooly Art Challenge, especially the fur; I think it may be my favorite of all my Zooly pieces so far! A little "oops" by the muzzle, but that's okay. Ink pen and Copic markers.

"Cased Wolf" is the old trade name of the Coyote, because its skin was cased like that of a Muskrat, while the Gray-wolf's pelt was spread out flat like a Beaver.

The following, from F. W. Beechey's "Narrative" (1831, p. 403), is the earliest form of the word "Coyote" that I find in English print; "Wolves and Foxes are numerous, and the *Cuiotas*, or Jackalls, range about the plains at night, and prove very destructive to the Sheep."
