Coyote crossing the Lamar river in Yellowstone with his beaver carcass. Even though I was quite a bit away from him and his mate, he did not want to share his prize with me and crossed the river to prevent me from reaching him. I thought that was rather thoughtful on his part because he actually did not put more distance between us. He settled just across the river which was not farther from he was initially. He was right that I would not cross the freezing river myself. I felt he knew that.
