Cold Coyote: National Geographic's "Extremes of Nature" Photography Contest


Cold Coyote

It was one of my last images of 2008. I spotted this frozen coyote on the side of a gravel road on my way into town. This is exactly how I found the coyote—frozen stiff, sitting up, at the side of the road. We’d been having temps of below -30C for two weeks. I guess this is part of the natural selection.

This image leads off the "Extremes of Nature" slideshow. See the rest.

  2. Oh, my. I can't imagine weather cold enough to freeze an animal that is still on its feet.

  3. We're so lucky to be human. And to be humans living in the last couple hundred years. Because we have matches.
