On a lighter note from some of the more heated debate today....
There's a new video dedicated to the MAX riding coyote that was in the news some years ago...

Re: MAX riding coyote
That's adorable I work swing shift and every few days I see a coyote friend on my off ramp in Milwaukie. They are amazing creatures!

Re: MAX riding coyote
You see Coyotes every few days in Milwaukie? Amazing.
I've seen them a couple times - Portland Golf Club, walking down my street, crossing the highway, on Mt Hood at Dollar Lake - few enough I remember the times.
That video looks like it's posed, as opposed to catching one that just happened. But Coyotes seem to not be that perturbed by humans sometimes...

Re: MAX riding coyote
Per http://www.oregonlive.com/commuting/ind ... video.html, the music video was staged with an animal trainer and rented MAX trains.
Re: MAX riding coyote
Just saw one sitting on the side of Hwy 30, in the industrial area/city edges, waiting for traffic to pass, with this look like "just move along, move along"
Re: MAX riding coyote
Saw one on Hwy 212 near Estacada on Saturday morning. He was particularly beautiful with his bushy winter fur. Almost wolf-like!

Re: MAX riding coyote
whats interesting is that it seems like there are more coyotes in N Portland than there are in SW Portland which has much larger natural areas and presumably half the population density...Lumpy wrote:Coyotes are everywhere.

Re: MAX riding coyote
Open and natural areas give wild animals more places to hide, and less population density reduces the chances they will be seen. I think it is safe to assume that the animals are urbanized due primarily to the availability of food, that hiding from sight is secondary when killing them is tougher in a city with regulations against shooting and trapping.
