This little cutie-pie was the cutest thing I’ve seen . . . so far at least! Oh, and I have to give credit where it is due . . . I did not take this picture. My husband did. My camera card was full so he snapped a few amazing cute pics on his camera. We saw this little guy (gal?) hanging out by the side of the road at Mesa Verde National Park. So special.
Adorbs!
Was this critter (a coyote?) acclimated to people and waiting for a hand-out?
It was a coyote and no, I think it was warming up on the road surface. It was really far away from anywhere that people hang out. I suspect it wasn’t shy because it was so young. We only stopped to look at it because it was lying next to the road, we turned around thinking it might have been hit by a car. It wasn’t, though, thank goodness. We just stayed long enough to take a few pictures and we headed off. It was heading away from the road when we left. We were the last people leaving the area we were in other than the rangers so I am sure the pup was okay.
