Aeneas or Museum Coyote?


Ok so we have known since Aeneas was about 1.5 that she is definitely a coyote - not just from the vet but from the numerous people that hunt them (bastards) and the coyote rescue org., research etc. So for those of you who may have had a little doubt, here is the poor little coyote at the Field Museum and then pics of my sweet baby. Oh and for the record, we adopted our baby from the shelter thinking she was some sort of mix when she was a pup and did not pick her up in the woods or side of the road as some people wrongfully do. After much research, I have learned that it is imparative for Coyotes to stay in the wild and it is a terrible idea to try and demesticate them. I only say this because I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about coyotes as pets. Most of them do not make good pets. Mine is a saint and we are so lucky and special to have her. She is quite unusual from the other coyote owners we have met. We all love her sooooo much and could just hug her all of the time.
