When I saw this I just couldn’t help but think about the old cartoon.

    Without seeing any detail of the image… just from the title I knew exactly what you had captured! Well done, great timing.

    Wow great shot I think the coyote is hunting something else

  • Chris Snyder replied

    Thanks for the comment mw! This coyote actually met up with another pair shortly after this shot. They started yipping and howling though I am not sure why. Later in the day I saw a group of coyotes close by get chased off by a grizzly. It would be very rare for a coyote or even a group to go after as big a prey animal as a pronghorn.

    this is the most ridiculous case of “photoshop”ing or some other kind of program work i have ever seen in my entire life !!

    Chris Snyder ~ you are trying to make a joke of a Pronghorn and a Fox
    it’s not funny and it’s definitely not cool ~ no matter if someone thinks it’s a coyote,
    this is not a real image

    lame effort and an insult

  • Chris Snyder replied

    Karon. It is in fact a coyote and a pronghorn. They passed very close to each other. There is no photoshop other than contrast and auto levels and the crop. I am sorry that you don’t believe this. It was a great experience to see these two animals so close together. I also am sorry that you do not see the humor in this image. Maybe you haven’t seen the cartoon.

    I would encourage you to make sure of your accusations before you write them. Regards—Chris

    A well timed shot, I have seen this several times were you get a couple of wild critters passing like this. There is no photoshop to this, it happens

    Chris; GREAT shot, Yellowstone is on my “To Do” list.

  • Chris Snyder replied

    Thanks Bart. I really appreciate your comment.

    I am trying to figure a way to get out to Yellowstone again next spring. End of May and early June are off the charts for wildlife.

    What a coincidence… they both must be blind in the right eye. Terrific shot too.
